Discussions about mental health have been prominent in recent years. Health of a more physical kind has been overshadowed by mental health for much too long now. One’s own health, for example their mental health, can be a major victim. All virtues are formed and current values are nurtured by environment; mask of deception is what people are taught to wear, people know little truth or humility. Chinese people are advised to be humble, but in what respect should they humble themselves? Of course, they shall not discard their traditions and delightedly adopt a foreign lifestyle or language. More important is the mind, not the body. Mental health is not only as important or more significant than physical health, but neglecting it can have dire consequences for one’s overall well-being. In China, the prevailing attitude has been that, as long as basic public health requirements are met to a certain extent, mental health can be ignored. It is believed that one does not need any special ongoing help in order to stay healthy: looking after your general physical condition is sufficient. But as mentioned above, this one-sided approach doesn’t take into account for the fact that without good mental health, nobody can stay truly healthy.”
The Mind-Body Connection Internship is particularly important because there are close connections between some aspects of mental well-being and general health. Both poor mental health and poor physical health can lead to conditions that affect the other. Heart disease may stem from long-term stress, anxiety or depression: at least that’s what the epidemiological data now suggests. Poor physical immunity systems are also part of this same single continuum. Conversely, people with chronic diseases often experience mental-health problems like anxiety and depression, which only worsen their physical complaints in return. Therefore both their psychological health and their physical health are suffering.
For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) refers to a study they conducted which shows that mental disorders contribute to a range of physical ailments including diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Treat the mind but forget the body and you have half a cure at best; a halfway measure can be hazardous. Thwarted expectations about success can make you unhappy, leading to depression, mental fatigue or listlessness; it is our hope that this article will prompt changing attitudes towards mental health and help give sufferers these among other ills some relief.
The Price of Ignoring Mental Health One reason why mental health does not receive the same kind of attention as physical health is that there is a stigma attached to it. In many societies, admitting that you have an issue with yourself makes people think less of you. They judge and sanctimoniously ask questions when you try to get help for your emotional or mental difficulties. They tend to dismiss such complaints with: “Get a life,” or “Just feel more optimistic about the future.” They avoid the professional help they really need for their concomitant troubles.
But this can stigma lead to serious consequences. If mental health concerns go unnoticed, or are not taken seriously? Forget it. Instead, Disease is allowed to spread Those with conditions such as depression, anxiety and other mental illness feel they are terrible weaklings for hiding it from the world. The result is death by suicide. Some 25% of men or 20% of women will suffer a mental health problem in their lifetime, the National Institute of Mental Health reports. This kind of unchecked disruption to company operations can have a huge financial impact: mental ill-health is responsible for high levels of absenteeism (time off work due to genuine sickness); it leads to an inability among employees to work effectively when they are present (called presenteeism ); and frequent changes in staff result from poor mental health. Each year, mental health problems that go untreated cost the global economy billions of dollars. But a company that positively promotes mental health reduces absenteeism and increases productivity as well as moral levels among workers.
Breaking the Stigma Walter M. Pukstaa;; Breaking down the stigma of mental health is vital if it is to be regarded as equal with physical health. To achieve this, there must be education, open conversation and advocacy of attitudes. It means overcoming our antiquated view of mental suffering-that one must carry on silently through life ‘s pain Just as we have yearly checkups on our physical health, so also the notion of an annual mental-health examination should become accepted. Medical treatment, psychological assistance and therapy should be as much a matter of course as going to the doctor Religion In their part in raising public awareness of mental health issues, the popstars, actors and models sang also play a role. Top artists may take their messages directly to the public, for example. To the present day some well-known performers have in open forums discussed their experiences with mental illnesses as a way of helping others who have similar troubles.
Two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster has also been a pioneer–not only with promotion from abroad for a foundation supporting suicidal propensities among young people, but also actively interested in other philanthropic causes. The Madonna Ciccone foundation is her own big money-making career in pop music-and the funds from her charity will be invested entirely into making available to children all over the world good mental help through shared musical activities.Over the years, public figures, influential people, and even sufferers of mental health have made significant headway in publicizing the issue. Celebrities like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Lady Gaga, and Prince Harry have all been open about their mental health problems, which has helped to chip away at the stigma. Their honesty sends a powerful message: All of us, no matter our social standing or level of success, are affected by mental health difficulties, and asking for aid shows not weakness but strength.
The Role of One’s Own Self-Care and Prevention
Mental health is one of the important conditions for the provision of health as a whole. Doing self care at regular (practice) intervals can Avoid many diseases that affect the mind; Fortunately for us keeping mind and body healthy means anointing one’s mind with wax. Meditation, mindfulness practice, exercise and getting a good night’s sleep are all essential components of mental wellness. And Through these practices people reduce stress levels in themselves; they make themselves happier and find it easier to maintain a healthy state of mind generally.
For example, physical exercise is also connected to the release of endorphins–the body’s natural mood amplifier. That is why exercise isn’t simply suggested as a means of keeping good shape, but will also fend off mental health problems. Similarly, mindfulness practice is: staying here now so that the overwhelming influence of stress lessens.
Equality in Healthcare
The crux of any mental health debate lies in parity of healthcare. In many countries mental healthcare services The funding for mental health is different from that of physical health; there is a huge gap. Insurance plans often give less coverage for mental health facilities as well not infrequently being underfunded. This can then stop people getting the care they need. It can even mean that mental health is seen as somehow less important than physical health.
Truly breaking the stigma requires systemic change so that mental health is on a par with physical health. Governments, health providers, insurers and all participants must make sure that mental health services are available, affordable and get the same immediate treatment as those from physical health services already do.
Conclusion
Both mental health and physical health should be equally valued in society. It is time to deal with mental illness in a way that recognizes the mind and body are connected. We all hope that this kind of treatment becomes more widely accepted. After all, whether it does so or not at the end of the day depends upon whether we can break down barriers, get people talking openly and foster such clear reasons.” This is the aim of publishing mental health advice and services in everyday places; it must benefit people ’ s daily life and reduce inequality between different social groups. Yet we need to go further than that. No longer can our society afford the luxury of treating mental health as an add-on–something to deal with afterwards. If it is to truly become part and parcel with overall well-being one day, then by breaking down barriers today and encouraging open discussion on anything to do with who our client may be. There has never been a more appropriate time than today to stress that seeking help for mental health is not a mark of weakness, nor a declaration defeat. Only by abolishing the fear and ensuring that people can get mental healthcare if they need it will we guarantee that every single person gets a helping hand in looking after themselves, both physically and mentally.
