Mental Health
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we
think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make
choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence
through adulthood.
Over the course of your life, if you experience mental health problems, your thinking, mood, and
behavior could be affected. Many factors contribute to mental health problems, including:
World Mental Health Day is observed on October 10 every year. The purpose of this momentum
is to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world, as well as to mobilize efforts to
support mental health.
Stigma against people with mental health disorders in Indonesia is still very strong. In fact,
based on data from the Health Research and Development Agency of the Indonesian Ministry of
Health, there are at least 450,000 families in Indonesia who suffer from schizophrenia (long-term
mental disorder).
Unfortunately, the issue of mental health in Indonesia is still a stigma that can have a negative
impact on sufferers. For example, such as discrimination and being ostracized from society. This
stigma can hinder the healing and recovery of mental health sufferers. Not only stigma, it turns
out that there are several challenges regarding mental health issues in Indonesia, including:
Research shows that the way you think about yourself can have a powerful effect on your
psyche. When we view ourselves and our lives negatively, we also feel the negative effects. On
the other hand, if you get used to using words that make you more positive, then this will make
you more optimistic.
Sport
Your body will release endorphins that help get rid of stress and improve your mood before and
after exercise. That's why exercise is a powerful antidote to stress, anxiety, and depression. Look
for small ways to increase exercise, such as taking the stairs, or walking to a nearby place. To
get the maximum benefit, get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day, and try to do it
outdoors. Sun exposure also helps the body produce vitamin D, which increases serotonin levels
in the brain.
Be open to someone
Knowing that you are valued by others is important to help you think more positively. Learn to
be open to others, which makes you more able to think positively and get to know yourself
better.
Rest
At times when all the work feels like too much, step away, and do nothing but the thing that
stresses you out even more, at least until you feel a little better. Sometimes the best thing to do
is a simple breathing exercise: Close your eyes and take 10 deep breaths. For each inhale, count
to four as you inhale, hold for a count of four, and exhale for a count of four. This works well to
help you fight stress.
Sleep on Time
A large number of studies have shown that lack of sleep has a significant negative effect on
mood. Try to sleep at a regular time each day. Avoid playing gadgets before bedtime and limit
caffeinated drinks for the morning.

cara kita berpikir, merasa, dan bertindak. Ini juga membantu menentukan bagaimana kita
menangani stres, berhubungan dengan orang lain, dan membuat pilihan. Kesehatan mental penting

Olahraga
Tubuh akan melepaskan endorfin yang membantu menyingkirkan stres dan meningkatkan
suasana hati kamu sebelum dan sesudah berolahraga. Itulah sebabnya olahraga adalah cara
penangkal stres, kecemasan, dan depresi yang ampuh. Carilah cara-cara kecil untuk
menambah aktivitas olahraga, seperti naik tangga, atau jalan kaki ke tempat yang dekat.
Untuk mendapatkan manfaat maksimal, lakukan olahraga setidaknya 30 menit setiap hari,
dan coba melakukannya di luar ruangan. Paparan sinar matahari juga membantu tubuh
menghasilkan vitamin D, yang meningkatkan tingkat serotonin di otak.
Istirahat
Pada saat-saat semua pekerjaan terasa seperti terlalu banyak, menjauhlah, dan lakukan apa
pun kecuali hal yang membuat kamu semakin stres, setidaknya sampai kamu merasa sedikit
lebih baik. Terkadang hal terbaik untuk dilakukan adalah latihan pernapasan sederhana:
Tutup mata dan ambil 10 tarikan napas dalam-dalam. Untuk masing-masing tarikan napas,
hitung sampai empat saat menarik napas, tahan selama empat hitungan, dan buang napas
untuk empat hitungan. Hal ini bekerja baik untuk membantu kamu melawan stres.
