 What is Mental Health? Is it having a good and intelligent brain? Or is it having good personal relationships to keep you happy? Or is it being fit and having a smooth and good lifestyle? Or is it having a job and being good at your workplace? Yes, these all come under good mental health. As a psychological definition mental health is basically physical, social, behavioral, spiritual, emotional well being and it comprises everything which makes one happy and filled with the desire to live on. As we live in the 21st century, so to be aware of our surroundings, on keep themselves updated with all the news and updates going on. Likely, everyone is about what is mental health and it matters in one’s life. But, the main thing which is still not clear and most people are not even aware of it is, how to identify that something is wrong with the person without stigmatizing them and how to express one’s feelings and problems in society without being ashamed and embarrassed about it.

Have you ever experienced that sometimes everything is right but is not right for the person himself without any reason? So, everyone feels anxious or depressed time to time depending on their life situations, but every time it cannot be considered as a mental illness or mental health issues. A big difference between them is mental illness deteriorates and impairs a person overall functioning which includes personal, social as well as occupational functioning in contrasts feeling anxious sometimes is normal and it does not deteriorate the person’s functioning further. But, here the main question arises how to identify that a person or his closed persons or any other is going through some kind of mental illness. So, below are some pointers which are some warning signs that will help one to identify mental health issues-

*being sad and worried throughout the day

*Excessive fears or repetitive thoughts about the same person, event or an object

*Eating too little or too much

*lack of sound sleep, symptoms of insomnia

*isolation or alienation from family, friends and closed ones

*Being violent, constantly picking fights with friends, family, and other people, getting aggressive very easily, breaking objects

*Detachment from reality in terms of having delusions or hallucinations (About which I will talk about in my next blog)

*Substance abuse may develop which includes the use of intoxicant substances such as drugs, alcohol, heroin, cocaine, marijuana, etc at an unprecedented and rapid rate

*Sex drive may change; a person can strive for more sexual needs or can be more alienated from sexual drives and start avoiding these drives

*Overpowering of suicidal thoughts which can even convert into suicidal gestures and tendencies

*Extreme mood changes, feeling high and low

*Inability to perform daily tasks which at some point of time were very easy

Does mental health have symptoms? – Optimal Living

The symptoms of mental health issues are different for each disorder, but the above pointers are some common symptoms that one can experience while going through a mental illness. But, how one can keep their mental health well? Below are some pointers which will help one to prevent oneself from being surrounded by any mental health issues or illness-

*Be regular in your sleep patterns. Sleep is really important for one and it can make or even break your day. Taking a sound sleep also keeps your mind peaceful and open to new ideas.

*start one’s a day with 10 minutes gratitude where one can thank god and other people and things they have in their life. And, gratitude should be followed by doing visualization for 5 minutes which will give a sense of goal and purpose to the person.

*start consuming food items or beverages that make oneself happy or have a calming effect on depression such as coffee is linked to lower rates of depression.

*maintain one’s personal relationships with whom one can feel being loved, cared for, and valued for.

*Try being physically active such as doing the workout in daily routine or dancing out when feeling filled with emotions can be a good way of letting out one’s emotions.

*And, the most important one is if one if feeling very anxious and have a mental illness, then one should consult a psychologist freely and do not feel ashamed because it a symbol of strength and not fear.

 

MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS MORE OF CANDOR, SUNLIGHT, LOVE, COMMUNITY CARE, ACCEPTANCE IN THE SOCIETY AND MORE UNASHAMED CONVERSATIONS
