Mental health is very important and must be deemed by people, but unfortunately, many people still think that mental health disorders are normal and can be cured just like that.
A mentally healthy person will affect his physical health as well as his quality of life. Because the aspects in it affect the way we think, act, determine how we handle stress, socialize, and live our daily lives
When someone is psychologically, emotionally, and socially healthy, then the individual can be said to have a healthy mentality and has good potential to evolve. vice versa, someone who has bad mental health, will be very difficult to think, socialize, and live life as it should. they will tend to avoid interaction with others and prefer to lock their self in their room, alone.
People who still underestimate mental health will increase the growth of mental disorders in this millennial era. Such as depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and many more.
Many mental health disorders are the cause of the increasing number of suicides. According to WHO (World Health Organization) data, the suicide rate in the world reaches almost 800 thousand people every year, and this does not include numbers that are not officially recorded. Sadly, suicide is the third leading cause of death in the world for those aged 15-19 years.
To reduce suicide cases and increase public awareness of mental health, we must first understand the characteristics of people who are experiencing mental health disorders. The general characteristics are as follows:
1. Usually feel sad for a long time, and sometimes there is no cause
2. Eat too little or too much
3. Very sensitive and easily get angry
4. Feeling constantly tired, messy bedtime, no energy
5. Often feel confused, worried, afraid, and feel excessive guilt
6. Not confident to meet the new environment
7. Prefers to be alone and withdraws from the social environment
8. Find it difficult to concentrate
9. Severe mood swings
10. Unable to cope with stress
11. Had a bad experience or trauma that can't be forgotten
12. Experiencing delusions, paranoia, and hallucinations
13. Thinking about ending their life (committing suicide).
From some of the characteristics above, we know and we can increase our awareness of people who have mental health disorders. If you or your close related person experiences the characteristics continuously and does not get better, you should immediately consult a psychiatrist for further treatment.
Did you know, There are many types of mental health disorders with different healing methods? The ones we see most often are:
1. Anxiety Disorder
Anxiety disorder is a disorder that makes patients feel excessive worry and fear continuously, so it can interfere with their daily activities.
2. Depression
Depression is a disorder that makes patients feel worthless, anxious, and hopeless, even this condition can cause them to end their lives because of feelings of hopelessness that make them feel that it is futile to live.
3. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
This mental disorder causes the patients to have difficulty focusing, be impulsive, hyperactive, forgetful, have difficulty getting along with other people, and daydream a lot. This mental disorder is often underestimated because no impact is seen or understood by others directly, therefore patients need to get proper attention and treatment.
4. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
This type of mental disorder makes the patients do something over and over again, they dont like to see messy things, and dont like seeing things or pictures that don't match. If that happens, then they will feel great anxiety.
5. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
This disorder is caused by the patients experiencing unpleasant events in the past, this disorder causes them to be hysterical when they see the same or similar bad events as they experienced.
Those are the 5 types of mental health that we often see, remember! don't self-diagnose mental health disorders because they can cause unnecessary anxiety.
Health is the most important part of human life because Health itself is the main source of human beings to do everything. One of them is mental health, where mental health is very important and must be deemed, because it includes psychological aspects, ways of thinking, and acting.
Parents have a very important role in supporting the mental health of children. Parenting and caring for children with love is the same as building a strong foundation for children so that they can develop the social and emotional skills they need to live a happy, healthy and prosperous life.
Those who are experiencing mental health disorders must be assisted immediately in the healing process so bad things won't happen again. Therefore, mental health needs to be socialized to people so that we can be more aware and care about the surrounding environment to reduce cases of suicide that have happened before.
