What is mental health and how does it affect a person?

If we study mental health, we learn to know that one can never be healthy if he or she is not feeling well mentally no matter how sturdy he/she is physical.

We can understand the status of a person who has quit his previously normal life and is not being adjusted to a new introverted routine as no one likes to be withdrawn from friends, family, and society.

Mental health deals with how a person feels think, and eventually behaves. It is regarding the behavioral and emotional status also known as a cognitive behavioral status of a person that how he or she perceives an event.

Human emotions and feelings are the most complex things on this earth and there is no parameter to evaluate these. This is true that social, physical, and mental health standards are meant to be coexisting but the term mental health needs to be elaborated on so that every one gets its wholesome idea.

Mental health is not merely being free from mental disorders. Mental health is being able to contribute actively to daily life and help people around us while proving ourselves to be beneficial to society on a broader spectrum.

Mental health involves well being of a human being according to health standards a person is harmless to society but now the definition is a bit changed. A mentally healthy person is sincere to himself and spends life without fears, and unnecessary burdens.

The world needs empathy more than ever!



Why does a mentally ill person consider himself a failure?

The more we grow older, the more we come to know that the biggest and most horrible creatures live rent-free in our precious minds and they keep on feeding the energy that we have saved after efforts and struggles to live. A person who is mentally ill tries to do the things other people do but something in his mind keeps him stopped from doing it. He makes promises to himself to do better but most of the time he is failed.

However, this doesn’t mean that he would fail every time he would try to do something. It means he needs help from outside and people around him but he is unable to tell someone that he needs special care. He must tell others about a comfort level that can assist him to regain his energy.

 

Hearing unuttered sounds is not pleasant!

Prerequisite factors for mental instability

Many reasons make a person more sensitive to mental health instability. We can have look on few ones prerequisites for such condition as follows:

  • ·        Socio-financial conditions
  • ·        Genetic or biological bases
  • ·        Neuropsychiatric issues
  • ·        Physical ailments

 

Socio-financial conditions

Different studies have shown that financial conditions put a lot of burden on people and most of the low-income people living in lavish societies become sensitive to mental issues as they cannot cope with the stress that comes with financial problems. Regardless of the hard work, they tend to fail to become a part of a high-income society and this leads them to befall a continuous struggle within.

The more they face differences in the standards people around them are enjoying, the more they become mentally sick.

This competitive world is making them left over as not everyone can afford a highly living source yet the world is changing its forms with every passing day.

Biological/ genetic factors

Interestingly, not every person facing mental health issues is surrounded by socioeconomic issues. Many people face this worrisome problem due to specific genetic programs in their DNA. Some genes are more dedicated to inducing depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia. The population with sensitive genes has more chances of getting these issues than those who don’t.

Genetic makeup is also responsible for this emotional instability and broken mental health.

Neuropsychiatric problems

Alcohol and other unhealthy edibles overconsumption can lead to changes in neurological functions and it eventually leads to changes in behavioral manifestations. It was shown in a study conducted in 2015, that 15 percent of the total population is involved with mental issues due to the intake of unhealthy products and it leads to a rise in such ailments when combined with typical mental issues like depression and anxiety. Mental health problems along with neuropsychiatric problems make a 50 percent of psychiatric issues.

Physical ailments

It is a stated fact that mental health problems can make a person befall serious ailments like heart issues, cancers, and uncertain deaths. On the contrary, life-threatening diseases like diabetes, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune disorders can be inducing factors of stress, anxiety, and chronic clinical depression.

These morbidities and mental health issues are correlated and one induces the others.

What makes mentally ill people feel more miserable?

The name-calling that comes with mental health problems is an issue for a long time. Not all people even nowadays are willing to understand the misery that comes with psychological issues.

A psychiatric patient feels miserable when he is considered a leftover part of society that is not owned or cherished but treated miserably. The tag that comes with mental illness is the labeling of such people with certain words and name-calling. They are supposed to be mentally weak and crazy.

The other side they face is that they are supposed to be in poor condition. It is assumed that they would be spending a low-quality life and they tag them wrongly. They assume that the person stressed with his mind would be one with mental issues.

Today even in this modern and decent society, people diagnosed with mental issues are still leftovers.

Be kind to those who are busy struggling with themselves!


Types of mental illnesses

There are many types of psychiatric problems that can be listed per their severity and frequency.

Few of these problems are mild and do not cause a problem in daily life while others are a bit severe and hamper conducting daily chores.

However the broader categorization is as follows,

1.       Anxiety or fear issues

2.       Mood-related problems

3.       Schizophrenic or hallucinating disorders

 

Bottom line

As we have read in this write-up that physical, social, and mental health areas are correlated and come with mutual help that keeps one person healthy and mentally strong. There is a range of emotions, feelings, and triggers which can make a person go from the green line of health to an unsafe zone of the red line. At a minimum, one should be a part of the yellow line in which he or she can carry out regular activities and keeps on struggling with mental health issues. There is nothing to be ashamed of being a mentally unstable person however it shouldn’t be made a weakness and should be lived as a normal healthy and lively life with friends and families.

You need to bring yourself to light to turn green and productive.
