Are you worried about your mental health?
(Last Updated On: March 20, 2021)
Mental health illnesses are very common these days. Issues such as anxiety, depression and psychosis have taken a front seat in today’s generation. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017, every one out of seven Indians has experienced some sort of mental illness of varying severity. If you think you require help, it’s best to get support and treatment as soon as you can. Seeking help early can speed up your recovery. We, as a society, haven’t normalised therapy yet. In this virtual age, actual human interaction has taken a back seat and people are becoming more anti-social. Just because you are coping with a mental health disorder, does not mean that you are different from the rest – this message should be communicated to the young generation.
A series of stressful life events such as losing a job, relationship issues, no work-life balance, bereavement or money issues can disrupt our well being. But there can be other factors, such as a hereditary history of mental illness. Most people who live with mental illnesses show mild to moderate symptoms and battle with conditions such as anxiety disorder or depression. Others live with less common but challenging conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or personality disorders.
What are the common symptoms of a mental illness?
It is very important to recognise the symptoms of poor mental health. If not recognised, these symptoms can hinder your ability to perform day-to-day activities. These symptoms usually help your therapist identify the kind of mental health problem you’re suffering from. Some of the common symptoms of a mental illness could be:
- Being in an anxious mood
- Lack of sleep or excess sleep
- Lack of concentration
- Regular mood-swings
- Experiencing suicidal tendencies, etc.
What treatments, exercises can be practised to overcome a mental health disorder?
It is always advisable to consult a practising psychologist before you get on a medication plan. Other ways of improving your mental health are as follows:
- Counselling, Therapy
- Yoga
- Reaching out for support
- Regular rejuvenation
- Healthy diet
- A balanced routine, etc.
Talking about your mental health can do wonders. Always reach out to people for support if you want to share something. Avoid grounding yourself if you’re going through a mental health crisis. Seek formal help and remember to love yourself because unless YOU start taking care of yourself, no medicine in this world would work for your benefit.
