What is It
Mental Health

 Mental health refers to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-

being. It is all about how people think, feel, and behave. People
sometimes use the term, “mental health” to mean the absence of a
mental disorder.
 Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes
his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life,
can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or
her community.
 Psychological well-being is used to describe an individual’s
emotional health and overall functioning. It is the combination of
feeling good and functioning effectively.
 Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and
adolescence through adulthood.

Key message
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological,
and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel,
and act. It also helps determine how we handle
stress, relate to others, and make choices.

Reading: Change your Mind about Mental Health
Mental health. It’s the way your thoughts, feelings and behaviors
affect your life. Good mental health leads to positive self-image and in-turn,
satisfying relationships with friends and others. Having good mental health
helps you make good decisions and deal with life’s challenges at home,
work, or school. It is not uncommon for teenagers to develop problems with
their mental health. Problems can range from mild to severe, and can
include depression, anxiety, body esteem issues, and suicide, among others.
Unfortunately, most young people with mental health problems don’t
get any treatment for them.
Research shows that effective treatments are available that can help
members of all racial, ethnic, and cultural groups. If you broke your leg or
came down with pneumonia, you wouldn’t let it go untreated. Often
however, young people ignore mental health problems thinking they will
“snap out of it,” or that they are something to be ashamed of. That kind of
thinking prevents people from getting the help they need. Sometimes getting
help is a matter of understanding mental health issues and changing your
mind about them.

Importance of Mental Health

 It is important to be mentally healthy because our daily lives, activities,
and relationships, are affected by it.
 Our physical health may also be affected by mental health – the two are
not mutually exclusive.
 The well-being of a person is not measured by physical health only, but
by his or her mental health as well.
 Mental illness knows no age, gender, ethnicity, or social class.
 Every person must take their mental health seriously because it is
essential to a good and fulfilling life.

Mental Health Challenges

Mental health disorders, or mental illnesses, are disorders that

influence the way a person thinks, feels, and behaves.
Common mental health disorders are anxiety, depression, panic
disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder, Bi-Polar
Disorder, Eating Disorders, Schizophrenia and Post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD).

1. Anxiety Disorder
Anxiety disorder is the condition of being in a state of increased
worry and excessive apprehension. It is normal to experience
feelings of anxiety and apprehension, but having an anxiety
disorder is an extreme and persistent form of it. Extreme anxiety
may manifest itself through a panic attack. It is also recurring and
is often disproportionate to the actual trigger. People with anxiety
may experience rapid beating of the heart, nausea, and high blood
pressure. Symptoms of anxiety disorder include, but are not
limited to, difficulty in sleeping and/or concentrating,
uncontrollable and inexplicable feelings of worry, apprehension,
fear, and restlessness.

2. Depression
Depression is a mental health challenge that makes people very
sad all the time. It can change how you think, feel, and act. It can
even make your body feel sick too. Symptoms of depression
include, but are not limited to, sudden weight gain or weight loss,
prolonged feelings of worthlessness, lack of focus, recurring
feelings of tiredness even without intense physical activity and
experiencing difficulty sleeping, eating, and doing daily activities.
Depression may affect one’s physical health and cause back or
joint pain, insomnia, and digestive disorders, among others.
Depression is treated and managed through therapy and medicine.
A person who has depression may have thoughts about self-harm
or suicide, so it is very important to keep an eye out for warning
signs that may indicate depression. Even if you have a good life,
you can struggle with depression. It is good to have family and
close friends to talk to and help when things are bad, and talking
to a mental health professional about these strong feelings can
help. Depression can be very hard, but people with depression can
get better too, and learn how to enjoy life.

9
3. Panic disorders
A person who is experiencing a panic attack suddenly feels
extremely overwhelmed and terrified. He or she may exhibit the
following symptoms: rapid heartbeat, trembling, shortness of
breath, chest pain, nausea, chills, and feeling that he or she is in
danger or dying, among others. A panic attack may last several
minutes and even up to several hours. A person who has
experienced a panic attack more than once and is anxious about it
happening again may have a panic disorder. A psychotherapist
may suggest cognitive behavioral therapy to people with panic
disorders.

4. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by obsessive
thoughts and compulsive behaviors that are repetitive. Obsessive
thoughts are recurring, uncontrollable thoughts paired with
negative and distressing judgment and perception. Compulsive
behavior is the act of doing something over and over and non-stop
without the real need to. People with this kind of disorder feel
powerless to stop their repetitive behavior and compulsive habits.

5. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

ADHD is pretty common and can make it hard to focus and sit
still. ADHD makes it hard to finish things, and makes thoughts
jump around, kids who have ADHD can learn to control their
thoughts and bodies by figuring out what helps them focus, or by
talking to a doctor or mental health professional. Some kids with
ADHD do better in school if they can do their work in a quiet room.
Sometimes medicine can help too. Even though having ADHD can
make some things harder, people who have ADHD are just as
smart as other people. They can still do well in school and in life.

6. Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder changes the way the brain
understands the world. People diagnosed with autism can have a
hard time talking about their feelings, understanding people’s
actions, and being social. They can also be very sensitive about
being touched. To a person diagnosed with autism, being hugged
can be scary and uncomfortable. Kids who have autism are just as
smart as other kids. They can be very good at things like math or
music. Just because some things are hard for kids with autism,
they are not acting mean or weird. Their brains just work in a

10
 different way. They still make friends and learn how to work and
play with others.
7. Bi-Polar Disorder
Everybody has feelings that change. When something good
happens, you feel happy. If something bad happens, you feel sad.
Bi-polar disorder changes the way people feel emotions, if people
have bi-polar disorder, their emotions can go from happy to sad
very quickly. They can be very cheerful one moment, and very
angry, sad and tired the next moment. When people with bi-polar
disorder experience intense feelings of happiness it is called
“mania”. They can’t think clearly or sleep well, and they might do
things without thinking about them first. When people with bi-
polar disorder feel intense sadness and tiredness, it is called
“depression”. Having bi-polar disorder can be very tiring and
stressful. Medication can help. Talking to a mental health
professional, friends and family can also help someone with bi-
polar disorder learn how to manage feelings and live a healthy life.
8. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
People who have experienced a traumatic incident in the past
may develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Long after the
traumatic event, people with PTSD still experience disturbing
thoughts and feelings which are intense and recurring. Symptoms
of PTSD include, but are not limited to feeling alienated; intense
feelings of fear, sadness, worry, or anger; having nightmares; and
intense negative reactions to certain situations, people, and places
that remind them of the trauma. Common treatments for PTSD
include medication and psychotherapy.
9. Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia makes it hard for people to know what is real and
what is not real. Schizophrenia can make the brain think it sees or
hears things that aren’t really there. A person diagnosed with
schizophrenia can also start to think that people are trying to
control them or read their minds. Even though the things they see,
hear, believe or feel might not be true, their brains think they are
real and true, and that can be very scary. Having schizophrenia
does not mean a person is violent or bad. Usually people do not get
this illness until their late teens or early adulthood, and there are
ways to make their lives better, like therapy and medication.
10. Eating disorders
An eating disorder exists when a person’s thoughts and
behaviors are focused too much on food and body weight. The
person may worry about being “too fat.” The person may have a
big fear of becoming obese. Yet, the person’s weight may be quiet

11
healthy. Three of the most common types of eating disorders are
anorexia, bulimia, and extreme overeating.
 Anorexia refers to weight loss that occurs from not eating.
People with anorexia have a real fear of weight gain and a
distorted view of their body size and shape. As a result, they
eat very little and can become dangerously underweight.
Many teens with anorexia restrict their food intake by
dieting, fasting, or excessive exercise. They hardly eat at all –
and the small amount of food they do eat becomes an
obsession in terms of calorie counting or trying to eat as little
as possible. Others with anorexia may start binge eating and
purging – eating a lot of food and then trying to get rid of the
calories by making themselves throw up, using some type of
medication or laxatives, or exercising excessively, or some
combination of these.
 Bulimia refers to eating large amounts of food over a short
period of time followed by an attempt to get rid of the food.
This getting rid of food is called “purging”. Bulimia is similar
to anorexia. With bulimia, people might binge eat (eat to
excess) and then try to compensate in extreme ways, such as
making themselves throw up or exercising all the time, to
prevent weight gain. Over time, these steps can be dangerous
both physically and emotionally. They can also lead to
compulsive behaviors (ones that are hard to stop). To have
bulimia, a person must be binging and purging regularly, at
least once a week for a couple of months. Binge eating is
different from going to a party and “pigging out” on pizza,
then deciding to go to the gym the next day and eat more
healthfully. People with bulimia eat large amount of food
(often junk food) at once, usually in secret. Sometimes they
eat food that is not cooked or might be still frozen, or retrieve
food from the trash. They typically feel powerless to stop the
eating and can only stop once they’re too full to eat any
more, or they may have to go to extreme measures (like
pouring salt all over a dessert to make it inedible) in order to
get themselves to stop eating. Most people with bulimia then
purge by vomiting, but also may use laxatives or excessive
exercise. Although anorexia and bulimia are very similar,
people with anorexia are usually very thin and underweight,
but those with bulimia may be an average weight or can be
overweight.
 Extreme overeating is marked by eating, and eating, and
eating and then having feelings of guilt and shame.
12
 The important thing to remember is that having an eating
disorder is about more than body weight and food. Behind the
problem we see is something bigger – a person’s sense of self-esteem,
relationships, feelings, and how the person handles the stresses of
life. A medical doctor, a mental health professional and a nutritionist
are important helpers for this type of problem.

Mental Health Issues

Having access to reliable information on positive mental health

and mental illness is crucial for adolescents for a number of reasons. Mental
and emotional problems need to be addressed, just like student’s physical
health problems. Even if students have not experienced mental illness, it is
very likely that they will know someone who has. Consider the following
statistics:

 Mental health problems affect one in five young people at any

given time.
 Mental illness is second only to heart disease as the leading
cause of disability worldwide.
 The first symptoms of mental illness generally appear between
the ages of 15-24.
 An estimated 50% of young people with mental illness are not
getting help.
 Fear of stigma and the resulting discrimination discourages
individuals and families from getting the help they need.
An interesting fact is that 30% of people diagnosed with mental
illness will also have a substance use disorder. When people
have both, we call it concurrent disorder. It is often difficult to
predict why someone with a mental health problem is “using”.
Sometimes drug use is a form of self-medication for mental
health problems, other times the substance use might have
caused the mental health problem. Regardless what the reason,
using drugs is not good thing to do. The cause of mental illness
is often very complex. The stress-vulnerability theory explains
why someone develops a mental illness:

Vulnerability: There is a genetic characteristic to mental

illness, but just because a family member has a mental health

13
 problem, it doesn’t mean that you will too. Sometimes mental
illness happens right “out of the blue”.

Stress: Stress can trigger the development of a mental

illness, but stress alone doesn’t cause the mental illness unless
you have a vulnerability gene. Causes of stress can be varied,
sometimes a change in environment, e.g., where you live or the
school you attend, or even psychological trauma, e.g., exposure
to teasing/ bullying, other violence or abuse.

Support Strategies/Community Mental Health Resources

Here are some strategies for supporting someone with mental health
concerns:

 Encourage the person to seek help and support from an adult.

 Spend time with the person, listen to his/her concerns.
 Be hopeful; help them feel like their life will get better.
 Stand by them. Invite your friend to things that you are doing;
keeping busy and staying in touch with friends will help your
friend feel better, when they are ready.
 Learn as much as you can about mental illness so that you
understand what is going on for them.
 If you are a close friend or family member of someone with a
mental health problem, make sure that you get help as well.
Talk to someone about what is happening. This will help you a
better support person.
 Put the person’s life before your friendship. If the person
mentions thoughts of suicide, don’t keep it secret, even if the
person has asked you to.

Healthy Eating and Mental Health

Healthy eating nourishes the body, including the brain, and

supports mental health through:

 Improved overall health and vitality

 Increased ability to concentrate
 Reduced irritability and mood swings
 Lowered risk of mental illness

There is some evidence that healthy eating may be a factor in

lowered risk of depression and improved ability to deal with
stress and anxiety.

14
Physical Activity and Mental Health:

Physical activity can make you feel good physically and

build confidence. Evidence suggests that physical activity may
contribute to improve mood and increased self-esteem, self-
confidence and sense of control. Some types of physical activity
may provide an opportunity to connect with others and develop
supportive relationships. Getting physically active may:

 Make you feel better physically and feel better about

yourself.
 Improve your mood
 Improve self-esteem
 Reduce physical reactions to stress
 Help you sleep better
 Give you more energy.

Physical activity may be effective in preventing or reducing

symptoms associated with anxiety and depression. how physical
activity improves mood and relieves anxiety is not yet clear.
Some theories propose that physical activity:

 Increases body temperature, thus relaxing muscle tension.

 Releases feel-good chemicals that improve mood.
 Offers a “time-out” from worries and depressing thoughts.
 Increases self-confidence, feeling of competence and a sense
of mastery.
 Provides a sense of belonging and mutual support when
participating with others.

Sleep and Mental Health

Most teens need 9-11 hours of sleep every night. Problems from
not being fully rested include:

 Irritability
 Difficulty concentrating and learning
 Don’t move information from short-term to long-term memory
as well
 Falling asleep in class
 Mood swings and behavior problems
 More accident prone
 More prone to depression

15
 Suggestions for getting a good night sleep:

 Stay away from stimulants like caffeine in the evening,

including chocolate, colas, and other caffeinated beverages.
These delay sleep and increase night waking.
 Do not go to bed hungry, have a light snack.
 Turn off any TVs, computers or cellphones, or just do not have
electronics in the bedroom.
 Disengage from any stimulating activities like exercise,
computer games or talking on the phone for at least 30 minutes
prior to bedtime. Reading is much more relaxing and may help
you fall asleep.
 Taking a warm bath or shower helps prepare the body for sleep.
 If you are not feeling rested and functioning at your best most
days, talk to your parents. You may need to speak to a doctor if
you are having problems sleeping in spite of trying the above
tips.
 Try a cup of hot milk.
