Mental Health Awareness acts as a timely reminder to us that mental health is important, and that
person who suffers from stress, anxiety, and depression are deserving of compassion,
understanding, and approaches to hope, treatment, recovery, and happiness. After all, now more
than ever, that is what we all want and need. The mind is one of the most powerful organs in the
body, as it controls the functions of all other organs. When our mind is disrupted or unbalanced,
it has an effect on how our bodies function. It also has a negative effect on our mental health,
academic or work performance. It has an impact on our relationships with others and ourselves,
as well as how we perform in life. That's why mental health is a crucial aspect of a person's
existence. It has an effect on our actions, feelings, and thinking. Every day, it has an impact on
how we think, feel, and act. Our mental health has an impact on how we make decisions, how we
deal with stress, and how we interact with people.
Some people believe that if they reach a point in their lives where they can no longer control
things and say, "I give up, I can't handle it anymore," they have a mental disorder. Stress,
anxiety, and hopelessness are some of the mental diseases that students and many others are
experiencing during this pandemic. A certain amount of stress is a normal part and unavoidable
in our everyday living. Stress help people in meeting deadlines, being prepared for presentations,
being productive, and arriving on time for major moments. When stress reaches too much and
lasts too long, however, the chances of mental health and medical problems rise. Anxiety is also
something that we all go through from time to time. It's our bodies' method of preparing us for a
high-risk situation. Anxiety can sometimes help us perform better by making us feel more aware
and focused. Some people's anxiety may come and go, but for others, it might continue for a long
time and have a big impact on their daily lives. When this occurs, it may be necessary to take
action. Hopelessness. A person's interest in essential objects, activities, events, or people can
fade when they are feeling pessimistic.
In this generation, mental illness is becoming more common. Not everyone gets the help they
require. Even while mental illness is more important these days and can affect anyone, it still has
a stigma. Because of this stigma, people are still hesitant to embrace mental illness. They are
embarrassed to admit it and seek medical assistance. Physical and mental health are closely
connected. They are both extremely important to a person's well-being. Many people, I believe,
do not seek assistance because they are terrified of being judged if they go to a hospital for a
mental condition. They are most likely subjected to discriminate. Our society's perception of
mental disease or illness needs to improve. People must be educated about these issues and the
stigma connected with it must be addressed. The effects of not treating mental illness at the
appropriate time might be severe.
Always remember that your feelings are always valid and making small improvements to your
lifestyle doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming. Try to talk about your feelings.
Talking about your emotions might help you to maintain excellent mental health and cope with
difficult situations. Keep active. Regular exercise can boost your self-esteem while also helping
you focus, sleep better, and feel better. Exercise not only keeps your brain and other vital organs
in good shape, but it also improves in emotional health. Don’t isolate yourself. There's nothing
like meeting up with someone in person to catch up, but that isn't always possible. You can also
reach out to them by phone, email, or online chat. It's healthy for you. Don’t hesitate to ask for
help. We're all exhausted or overwhelmed at times by how we feel or when things don't go as
planned. If things are becoming too much for you to handle, your family or friends might be able
to offer appropriate guidance or just a shoulder to cry. Local services are available to assist you.
Take a break. It is beneficial to your mental health to change environment or activity. It could
be a five-minute break from cleaning the kitchen, a half-hour lunch break at work, or a weekend
spent discovering new places. You can de-stress in only a few minutes. Take some time for
yourself.
