Hello everyone!....My self Hemanshu Chaudhari, A Final Year Medical Student here to share something on Mental health And of course we the whole Team Sparsh are here with some sort of solutions to help you out with it. So guys stay tuned with us for more regarding the topic.
Being a medical student I went through a lot of stress and poor mental health. Hence, I am quite concerned about the ongoing situation of mental health.
So let's get started with what mental health is, which everyone is talking about here and there but no one is taking it seriously!!!
Road Map to mental health
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps to determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
Factors Affecting the Mental Health
Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry
Childhood traumas due to bad parenting or due to abusive unhealthy house or school environment
Bad lifestyle
Eg
Long working hours
Lot of stress
No exercise
Not taking enough sleep
Not taking good diet
Bad habits
Unhealthy Social Environment
Post Traumatic ( physical or emotional trauma)
Family history of mental health problems
Signs of Poor Mental health
That feeling of deep loneliness even after being around the people.
Feeling unusually confused, forgetful, on edge, angry, upset, worried, or scared
Having low or no energy
Losing interest in activities and things that you once loved the most.
Endless Thoughts which you can't overcome by yourself.
Repeated Palpitations ( loud heart beating that you can feel without any attention) due to any particular trigger.
Yelling or fighting with family and friends without any justifying reason.
That feeling of you're not worthy enough.
Lack of sleep at night for many days ( insomnia) or sleep more than usual
Sudden crying or feeling overwhelmed without any reason.
Feeling of hopelessness, helplessness and suicidal thoughts.
Not making enough productivity in your day to day life due to any of the above reasons indicates that you're struggling with some mental health issue and you should kindly consult any psychiatrist or ask for the help from your family or friends.
Importance of mental health
To have productive, healthy relationships with yourself and others
Cope with day to day stress in life
Establish a positive sense of self and to be your true self
Stay motivated and physically active, and fully healthy
Be more productive at work and school
Make meaningful connections and contributions to the community and humanity
Realize and work towards achieving your full potential and life goals
Factors That Influence Mental Health
Seeking therapy
Journaling
Practicing mindfulness — like mindfulness meditation
Exercise
Yoga or low impact exercise
Learning to communicate effectively can be great for mental health and emotional health
Role for Everyone of Us As a Family, friend and community in improvement of Mental Health
Instead of making it big deal we should encourage talking about mental health and normalised visit psychiatrist if needed
Stop tagging person as dramebaaz, attention seeker, Moody who are struggling with mental health issues and start listening them and support them
Make friendly environment around ourselves so that person truly share things what's he/ she is feeling and going through
If anyone shares something about their poor mental health, listen to them carefully and encourage them to visit a Doctor instead saying ' tu jayada soch raha' , ' sab kuch thik ho jayega', ' depression vepression kuch nhi hota' .
It takes great courage to acknowledge that you are struggling with mental health and it needs to be fixed but once you decide to fix it half problem solved by that only. So you should start paying attention to your mental health, Start self assessment and if needed ask for help from doctor, family, friends and Team Sparsh is always here for any kind of help, it's always pleasure to help you.
