Ever wondered why we have a name for a particular day? It
relates to the history which expresses the importance of the day.
I recently updated myself with 10th of October as World
Mental Health Day which was first celebrated in 1992.
World Mental Health Day is an initiative taken by World
Federation group to educate and inform everyone about mental health.
Do you know that 70% of the population is sick mentally? In
fact, you can be one of them. Nowadays People are more stressed than ever
because their expectations level is high. Mental health is the main element to
a healthy life. One can live happily without a leg or hand but mental illness
is equal to dead alive.
Mental illness has become one of the most common health
issues in recent times. Anxiety disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders,
eating disorders, impulse control, and addiction disorder, obsessive-
compulsive disorder, personality disorder, and post-traumatic disorder are few
terms known as the type of mental disorders.
Mental health day is to support these patients which are
among you and are sick where most of the people think that mental disorders are
not common but happens to someone else.
It has been estimated that millions of people in a given year and around
the world are suffering from one or many types of mental sickness. Commonly, families do not accept the idea
that their loved one has a mental disorder and it makes them feel vulnerable to
the opinions and judgments of others.
Mental Health day is concentrated to help treat those few
completely, by giving them extra care and love.
Mental Health day is actually initiated to let everyone be
the part of it to help whoever they know is going through mental and emotional
issues.
If you are not aware of what mental health issue could be
then let me inform you that Mental illness is a disease that causes moderate to
severe disturbances in behavior which leads to an inability to confront with
life's ordinary demands and routines.
In general, there are more than 200 categories of mental
illness. Autism, Dementia, Alzheimer and Cerebral Palsy are common to name a few.
You can easily recognize the patient on the basis of sudden
change in mood, personality transformation or social withdrawal.
These mental health problems are increasing day by day due
to excessive stress at a particular situation or outrageous series of events or
just by a reaction to environment stresses, genetic factors, biochemical
imbalances or above all.
A mentally sick
patient requires special care and treatment to recover from a mental illness or
emotional disorder.
If you know a person
with these symptoms let know a doctor to help him.
You might encounter sudden changes in behavior and thoughts
of a mentally sick patient.
Mental Health department says that these symptoms can be a
result of any other medical condition. Please confirm with the doctor dealing
with his/her condition.
These few symptoms
are sign of mental illness;
·
Confused thinking or bewildered thought process.
·
Depression from a long time
·
A mentally ill person does feel extremely high
and low at times.
·
They may fear a lot of very small things
·
They keep on being worried and anxious
frequently
·
A depress or patient cuts off with all social
possibility
·
He/she might face dramatic changes in their
eating and sleeping habits
·
It is advised to keep a distance when a mental
patient is angry. (Extreme anger)
·
A mental patient can go through delusions where
he /she experiences strange thoughts about very normal things and their life.
·
They might feel or hear invisible things called
hallucinations
·
Dealing with quite easy things become hard for
them
·
The most common thought of a mentally sick
patient is to kill him/her.
·
They may use material to hit someone in anger
·
Mental health affects appetite
A child can
experience different sort of changes when mentally sick:
·
A student of younger age may drop down his/her
school performance leading to poor grades even after working hard.
·
At a very early age, these kids start being
worried a lot.
·
Hyperactivity in the child can be seen.
·
The mentally ill child may get nightmares at
daily basis.
You can easily tackle your mental illness by feeding your
mind with love and care.
Know how to cope day
to day and become the healthiest person.
·
You have to accept your feelings, beyond
different symptoms and types of mental illness. This is quite ok that you
yourself denying the warning signs, being worried about what people will think
because of the stigma or confused about what caused your loved one to become
mentally ill. Accept that this is quite common these days that one might face a
lot of stress and it results in mental illness gradually.
·
A Psychological doctor can counsel you on this
chapter. If you find this persistent than consult a psychologist to treat your
loved one as soon as possible. Also, share your knowledge to everyone whose
relative might be facing this issue but not aware what can be done to sort this
out.
·
You might deal with not understanding what is
actually happening that is decreasing your performance in handling daily
things. A person may be extremely withdrawn to society and may feel very much
depressive even about their family members. You may act unusual and
unacceptable in public that is because of your mental illness. So whenever you
meet your doctor, do tell your behavioral problems. I advise you to take it
easy.
·
Your Family is only trying to help you by asking
general questions about your life. Be calm and listen to them, it will only
help you at the end. Your Friends are another bridge to take you back as you
were once. Remember, when you are with them you are happy and sorted. Let them
be with you as much as possible. Dear, friends are your medicines. Discuss your
behavioral problems with them and find out the reason and solutions at one end.
Beyond Doctor, they will give you the best advice.
If these above things
do not work, get a counselor!
·
A mental health counselor can suggest good ways
cope and better understand your or your loved one's illness. Counselors have experience in treating very
ill patients, so they know how to develop a good feeling about you.
·
It is always an awesome idea to travel away from
your native place, you can visit any hill area or landslide fresh air can treat
you well. A family tour will be much awesome than going alone because they will
feel worried about you when you are away from them.
·
Sit alone and talk to yourself, you are not sick
at all. It just about this time that has made you little unmanaged. You will be better every day with your
positive thoughts. Think yourself the healthiest person and take part in
everything you love to do.
World Health Day is a brilliant step towards a Mentally Healthy world.
We request you to support and help these patients by adding
psychological aid in their life as we are doing.
Mental illness is not an incurable disease but can easily be
tackled.
