Mental health is one of the most debatable terms in todays society. Man has emotions and that qualifies him to be a human being. Everyone experiences lows and highs that are moments of happiness and sorrow in their lives and its natural in human experience. But there are some factors like genetic related or environmental circumstances which propels an individual into a sort of concern which affects his daily life functioning. That is a person feels generally low and that affects his surroundings, his emotional state gets affected and the impact can be felt immediately by his near and dear ones.
Mental health is not related to someone who is feeling low but its a broader term which applies to everyone. Mental health disorders which are more humanly stated as mental health concerns give a more calming effect to the person.
A sound body and sound mind is required to function healthily in the present society. A mental health concern is just like other sort of illness like others but the only concern is that its invisible. A person who is physically handicapped is generally given much sympathy as his pain can be seen, but mental health concern remains invisible.
The only concern is that the society is less sensitive towards the topic. The recent lockdown has toppled us in many ways and the pressure seen by the peers is generally increased. However, it has brought an increased awareness about mental health and its need.
The person having a concern just needs to be understood that what is the emotional trouble he is going through. The state should be understood by the family members and immediate psychological or psychiatric aid must be provided to him or her. The person must be attended to by his peers, friends or family members and must be given an listening aid. The person going through a phase doesnt demands attention but just wants to be listened to.
An immediate peer or family member or a colleague must give a listening aid to the person. A psychologist can be attended to their counselling or therapy sessions are to be considered. Psychiatric help is also necessary if drugs are required for giving a calming effect to calm the individual.
Different types of mental health concerns.
There are many mental health concerns and every concern has various type of symptoms and the aid provided must be according to that. Common mental health concerns are anxiety disorders, phobias, mood disorders like depression, bipolar and personality disorders. These terms sound really deep but the common and essential thing within them is that these are all related to human emotions and thus it gives a very normal human touch.
The only thing lacking is a complete understanding and sensitivity towards the topic.
