What is It

Concept of Mental Health and Well-being in Middle and Late

Adolescence
Mental health is an important thing to talk about, but sometimes people feel
uncomfortable to start discussing it. It is an important subject. However, as an
increase in societal mental health awareness can have positive outcomes, people
who are mentally healthy are generally happy and confident about their lives.
They accept and deal with their problems realistically, recognize and accept
their weakness, have good relationship with others, understand themselves, and try
to have a decent life. Mental health deals with both the emotional and psychological
conditions of a person.

If you have good mental well-being (or good mental health), you are able to:
• feel cooperatively confident in yourself – you accept and worth yourself
and decide yourself on realistic and reasonable standards
• live and work profitably
• cope with the stresses of everyday life and manage times of change
and uncertainty.
• feel engaged with the world around you – you are able to build and
maintain positive relationships with other people and feel you can
contribute to the community you live in
• sense of well-being and satisfaction
• ability to enjoy life, to laugh, and to have more fun
• ability to deal with life’s stresses and to bounce back from adversity

Mental health is a positive concept related to the social and emotional well-
being of individuals and communities. Having good mental health, or being mentally
healthy, is more than just the absence of illness, rather it’s a state of overall well-
being.

Your Mind About Mental Health (Quezon City: Sunshine Interlinks Publishing House Inc., 2016), 45.

Three Components of Mental Health

1. Emotional well-being- includes happiness, interest in life, and satisfaction.

2. Psychological well-being includes liking most parts of one's own personality,
being good at managing the responsibilities of daily life, having good
relationships with others, and being satisfied with one's own life

3. Social well-being refers to positive functioning and involves having something

to contribute to society (social contribution), feeling part of a community
(social integration), believing that society is becoming a better place for all
people (social actualization), and that the way society works makes sense to
them (social coherence).

A lot of individuals pay attention of their physical health before they feel unwell.
They may eat properly, exercise and try to get enough sleep to help maintain
wellness. You can take the identical approach to mental health. Same as you may
work to stay your body fitness, you can also work to stay your mind healthy.

Challenges to Mental and Well-Being

No one has a good mental health all the time, however ongoing problems can
take a real toll on our well-being.

Your mental health can affect some areas of your life:

• Work, school, or home life
• Relationships with other
• Sleep
• Appetite
• Energy levels
• Capacity to think clearly or make decisions in life
• Physical health
• Life satisfaction and more...

If you experience low mental wellbeing over a long period of time, you are
more likely to develop a mental health problem.

What is mental illness?

A mental illness is a health problem that significantly affects how a person feels,
thinks, behaves, and interacts with other people. It is diagnosed according to
standardized criteria.

Eating disorder
- Is an illness that are characterized by irregular eating habits and
stress concern about size.

7
 - Can develop throughout any stage in life but typically appear during
teen years or adulthood. Normally co-exist with different conditions
such as anxiety, depression, etc.
1. Anorexia
People with anorexia have a true worry of weight gain and a distorted read
of their body size and form. As a result, they eat very little and can
become dangerously underweight. Although the disorder most often
begins throughout adolescence, an increasing number of children and
older adults are also being diagnosed with anorexia. You cannot judge if a
person is struggling with anorexia by looking at him. A person does not
need to be emaciated or underweight to be struggling.

2. Bulimia nervosa is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder

characterized by a cycle of bingeing and compensatory behaviors such as
eating uncontrollably by purging and vomiting or using laxatives in an attempt
to losing weight.

3. Binge eating disorder is a severe, life-threatening but treatable eating

disorder characterized by the consumption of large quantities of food in a short
period of time; a feeling of a loss of control or unable to stop when eating;
experiencing embarrassment which results stress and anxiety; and not
regularly using healthy compensatory measures to counter the binge eating.

2. “Types of Eating Disorder,” February 20, 2018, https://www.freedeatingdisorders.org/patient-

family-support/types-of-eating- disorders/.

Good Physical Health Is Good for Mental Health

One’s physical health is also an important issue to good mental health. Sleep
and nutrition, as an example, should be given importance and properly determined
by an adolescent whose tendency is to get these things for approved. An individual
who is poor of sleep, for example, will be aggressive, will have a short temper, will
sometimes become emotionally responsive, and will also have bad memory.
Physically, the individual may develop skin rashes or acne, have gloomy circles
around the eyes, causes overeating and increases susceptibility to illnesses.

Ten Things You Can Do for Your Mental Health

1. Value yourself:
Take care of yourself with kindness and respect, and stay away from self-
criticism. Make time for your hobbies and favorite stuff, or broaden your horizons. Do
recreational activities, plant a garden, take dance lessons, learn to play an
instrument.

8
 2. Take care of your body:
Taking care of yourself physically can improve your mental health. Be sure to:

• Eat nutritious food

• Avoid vices
• Drink ample of water
• Exercise everyday
• Have enough sleep

3. Surround yourself with good people:

People with strong family foundation or social connections are generally

healthier than those who lack a support network. Make plans with supportive family
members and friends, or seek out enjoyable activities where you can get together or
meet new persons, such as a club, class or support group.

4. Give yourself:
Giving your time and energy free to help and accompanied someone else.
You will feel good about doing something real to help someone really in need — and
it's a wonderful way to meet new persons, and the best feelings you may experience.
5. Learn how to deal with stress:
Whether you like it or not, stress is a part of life, and its natural feelings.
Practice good coping skills: do sport like swimming, exercise, take a nature walk,
play with your pet or try journal writing as a stress reducer. Also, remember to smile
and see the beauty in life. Research shows that laughter is the best medicine, can
boost your immune system, relieve pain, relax your body and trim down stress.
6. Quiet your mind:
Recreational activities and prayer can improve your state of mind and
viewpoint on life. Indeed, research shows that meditation will help you feel calm,
comfortable and improve the effects of therapy.
7. Set realistic goals:
Plan what you want in life to accomplish academically, professionally and
personally, and note down the steps you need to realize or achieve your goals.
Moreover, aim high, but be realistic and don't over-schedule. You will enjoy a
marvellous sense of accomplishment and self-image as you see the progress toward
your ambition.
8. Break up the monotony:
Sometimes our daily routines make us more competent and develop our
feelings of security and safety, a slight change of tempo can brighten a boring

9
schedule. Change your jogging direction, plan a road-trip in beautiful scenery, take a
walk in a different park, hang some new pictures or try a newly open restaurant.

9. Avoid alcohol and other drugs:

If possible do not use or keep alcohol, and stay away from other dangerous
drugs. Sometimes people may use alcohol and other drugs to self-medicate but in
reality, alcohol, and other drugs only make worse problems in life.
10. Get help when you need it:
Finding help is a sign of strength but not a weakness. And it is significant to
remember that treatment is valuable. Persons who have proper care can easily
recover from mental illness and addiction and lead full, worthwhile lives.

 LESSON
Emotional Intelligence in Middle
2 and Late Adolescence

Emotions are basically part of our feelings. Thus, emotional awareness is able
to recognize the emotions that you experience, understand the feelings associated
with it, and understand what you think and do as a result.

What’s In

From the previous lesson, mental health awareness is very important to be

learned and discussed. Adolescents must know how to acknowledge their strengths
and weaknesses so that people who feel too much can get the help they need.
When dealing with mental health or emotional problems, it’s important not to go at it
alone.

 What is It

Emotional Intelligence: Before we explain the meaning of the word EQ, let
us define first the terms emotion and intelligence.
Emotion is any disturbance of mind, feeling, passion, any excited psychological
state. However, emotional intelligence will be defined as the ability of an individual to
command respect by building relationships or the power to urge.

Emotional intelligence refers to the ability of an individual to manage and

control his or her emotions. It possesses the ability to control the emotions of others
thus influencing other people’s feelings.
The benefits of emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, use,
understand, and manage emotions in an effective and constructive way. A high EQ
helps individuals to communicate better, decrease their anxiety and stress, defuse
conflicts, improve relationships, empathize with others, and effectively conquer life’s
challenges. Our emotional intelligence affects the value of our lives because it
influences our behavior and relationships.

Good leader shows their Emotional Intelligence by exhibiting all five of

its key components:

1. Self-awareness: Exhibited by self-confidence, realistic self assessment and self

offensive sense of humor. Most people with high Emotional Intelligence perceive
their emotions and that they don’t let their feelings rule them. They understand their
strengths and weaknesses, and they work on these areas so they can perform
better. Also, can cope with their feelings simply.

2. Self-Management: Exhibited by credibility and truthfulness, comfort with

uncertainty and honesty to change. This is the capability to control emotions and
impulses. Persons who self- control typically don’t allow themselves to become too
irritated or jealous, and they don’t make spontaneous, careless decisions. They
really think before they do something.

3. Self-Motivation: Exhibited by a strong force to realize optimism, and high

organizational commitment. Persons with a high emotional intelligence are willing to
postpone immediate results for long-term success. They are highly creative, love a
challenge, and are successful in whatever they do.

4. Empathy: Exhibited by know-how in structuring and retaining talents, and cross-

cultural sensitivity and check to clients and customers. This is the ability to recognize
with and understand the needs desires, and viewpoints of those around you.
Empathetic persons avoid stereotyping and judging too promptly, and they live their
lives in an open, and honest way.

16
 5. Social Skill: Exhibited by the capacity to lead change efforts, expressiveness,
and skill in building and leading teams. Persons with strong social skills are naturally
team players. Rather than center on their own victory, they help others to build up
and excel. They can manage disputes, are outstanding communicators, and are
masters at building and maintaining relationships.

Emotional intelligence sometimes refers to EQ and EI are equally necessary

to balance leadership. Thus, it is one of the most important attributes of an excellent
leader. Emotional intelligence is a range in which everyone can be taught and get
better.

Increase Your Emotional Intelligence through Self-Management

Here are a few coaching tips that can help improve your emotional or
behavioral self-control.

1. Remain aware of feelings. Giving attention to how you feel in a minute is the
first step to more efficient self-management of your behavior.
2. Keep a journal. Make a list of situations or events in your life that “trigger”
negative emotions, such as anger or frustration. Then write out a strategy to deal
with these situations in a positive and effective manner. Review and analyze these
strategies regularly so you’re prepared to put them into practice.
3. Pay attention to “self talk.” Ask yourself what it looks and feels like to be under
control, paying attention and poised. Repeat this consciously each day and it’s likely
your “talk” will become your habitual “action.”
4. Remember, you have a choice. You have the capability to decide your
response to any situation. You can choose to “fly off the handle” in stressful
situations, or you can choose to remain peaceful.

The eight basic emotions are:

• Fear → feeling of being afraid, frightened, or scared.

• Anger → feeling angry.
• Sadness → feeling sad. Other words are sorrow, grief (a stronger feeling, for
example when someone has died)
• Joy → feeling happy.
• Disgust → feeling something is wrong or nasty.
• Surprise → being unprepared for something.
• Trust → a positive emotion; admiration is stronger; acceptance is weaker.
• Anticipation → in the sense of looking forward positively to something which is
going to happen. Expectation is more neutral.

Activity 7: Create a Collage of Your Feelings

Our emotions can more simply express themselves in visual images and
symbols than in words. An image of daisies catches your eye. You glue it into your
collage, but don’t know why you picked it. After looking at your collage, you realize
that daisies were your mother’s choice flowers. “You might arrive at the nearby that
your existing feelings of depression are related to old grief and prior losses that were
not originally in your conscious awareness.”
Looking through magazines and news papers find images that express your
emotions. Paste these images onto a piece of paper. When your collage is complete,
journal about the images you created. Ask yourself: “What are you trying to tell me?”
