A simple way to avoid any illness is exercise n prayers

Mental well being matters the most

Whenever someone tries to speak up their problems it is our duty to not ignore them even if we feel like they are draining us. People with depression and suicidal thoughts all want is just a listening ears and few supportive words like I am here for you, I am by your side, we can handle,etc. All they want is someone to listen and be their side. Worst thing to do them is passing comments like " Don't be negative, Your problem is nothing in-front of blah blah ( remember not all people have the same threshold). A depressed mind is always vulnerable and unpredictable. Also depression when paired with anxiety makes the condition even more critical. So it is always good to listen and show love and care as far as possible to the fellow beings who are feeling low and disturbed

That's so well put

Also he or she should be taken outside

Exploring and Trying to distract with pleasures that life gives

Enjoying moments, showing what life is and then explaining more practically will make the person have a broader perspective

Then the person will come out of it

There are also a lot of myths related to the treatment of mental health issues. Many believe these disorders do not have any treatment, while others believe medications are dangerous and can cause side effects. They think these medications are damaging to the brain or may numb the brain or be addictive.

This is when people think willpower or strength and courage will help the individual 'deal with it. This again is quite toxic and delays proper treatment and resolution. Some believe Yoga and Meditation alone can heal a mental health disorder. And while there is no doubt about the benefits of these activities, one must also understand the role that counselling, and medication cannot be replaced. They exist to help the individual in ways that cannot be substituted. Some people also believe that they will need to take the medications for the rest of their lives, which is not the case

Exactly like any other illness like common cold and fever sometimes mediation is required . Depression is a not a sign of weakness and can happen to anyone . Prolonged feeling of being depressed for sure requires attention . It's time that we end the stigma that depression or any other mental health issue is a sign of weak soul or a weak mind .. or it is a taboo to talk about it ..

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY

​

World Mental Health Day is on October 10 and as our understanding of mental health grows, we grow along with it. Mental health has come a long way since the early nineties when the World Federation of Mental Health (WFMH) officially established the day. Our self-awareness and sensitivity towards it have changed things for the better. Our language surrounding mental health has improved as words like “crazy” and “lunatic” are used less flippantly and we come to better understand that they can be unintentionally hurtful and stigmatizing. While we’ve learned a lot, there’s still so much more we can do to evolve as a society.

HISTORY OF WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY​

In 1992, the World Federation of Mental Health led by the deputy secretary-general at the time, Richard Hunter, created World Mental Health Day. They didn’t have a precise objective other than to advocate for mental health as a whole. To say the least, it was an uphill climb to change a plethora of bad and dangerous habits that were making a difficult situation worse for people.

The world had a host of mental health issues that weren’t properly being treated. There were struggles to gain public funding for treatment in France, inhumane treatment in New Zealand, and an overall ignorance in regards to what mental health actually is. The WFMH knew that they needed to act on a global scale to solve a global crisis.

For the first three years, there was a two-hour telecast broadcast across the globe through the U.S. information agency satellite. The studio was located in Tallahassee, Florida and it became a useful way to get their message of advocacy out to the world. They had participation from Chile, England, Australia, and Zambia, while Geneva, Atlanta, and Mexico City pre-taped segments for the broadcast.

The first World Mental Health Day theme was ‘Improving the Quality of Mental Health Services throughout the World’ in 1994. 27 countries sent feedback reports after the campaign and there were national campaigns in Australia and England. Continuing this momentum, WFMH board members across the globe arranged events in accordance with the day and its growing popularity among government departments, organizations, and civilians alike.

Starting in 1995 and continuing on, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) arranged the translation of the planning kit material into Spanish, French, Russian, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic. As the years passed, more countries got involved and, consequently, so did civilians as the perception of mental health became more synonymous with human rights.

The themes for World Mental Health Day expanded along with the times. Women, children, health, work, trauma, suicide, and so much more became a part of the conversation, and today, the average citizen is more knowledgeable in regards to mental health.

5 SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH​

Unholy spirit
It's believed in certain cultures that mental health problems are caused by spirit possession.

Global numbers
Globally, one in four people will need mental health care in their lives.

National numbers
More than 43 million Americans battle with mental health.

Youth depression
Depression among youth has risen from 5.9% to 8.2% since 2012.

Limitations
Most Americans lack access to proper healthcare treatment.

WHY WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY IS IMPORTANT​

Identify the problem
The idea of the mind is an abstract concept and this day allows us to think about our thoughts. We’re evolving beyond outdated perceptions and releasing the stigma of mental health so that we can properly diagnose it and take care of ourselves. With the burden and fear removed from mental health issues, the battle becomes considerably easier.

Share your pain
This day reminds you that whatever you’re going through, you’re not alone. Too often we think that we’re the only ones facing a hard time. It’s uplifting to know that other people have gone through it and made it out to the other end. It reminds you that you can overcome your own pain.

Proper treatment
As our understanding of mental health grows, so does our ability to seek proper treatment. With the right therapist and necessary medication, you can operate on a more efficient level. The more accepting we are and the more funding that’s put into research and mental healthcare, the greater the global impact.

I am such a person who got sick very often. In fact, I realized that I had cognitive problems. I started using products from here https://www.canadapharmacy.com/ The main thing is to choose the right care for yourself. After all, this is not a joke at all
