Mental health refers to a person’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It encompasses a wide range of learned and inherent experiences – such as our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors – and plays a crucial role in how we cope with stress, interact with others, and make choices.
In short, very common! You’re not alone. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1 in 4 people globally will experience a mental health condition at some point in their lives. These conditions can affect individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.
Signs and symptoms of mental health issues can vary depending on the specific condition, but some common indicators include persistent sadness, anxiety, mood swings, changes in sleep patterns, withdrawal from social activities, difficulty concentrating, excessive worry, changes in appetite, and thoughts of self-harm. It’s important to note that everyone’s experience is unique, and it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis. Help and support is all around us. The community is here to provide support and specialized professionals are dedicated to helping you through tough times. Id you are curious about the state of your mental health, we urge you to reach out to a professional.
Supporting someone struggling with their mental health begins with empathy, understanding, and active listening. Encourage them to seek professional help, provide a non-judgmental space for them to express their feelings, and offer practical support such as accompanying them to appointments or assisting with daily tasks. Educating yourself about their condition and being patient and supportive can make a significant difference in their journey to recovery.
