Mental Health Problems

Name : Aisya Noorfajaraina (111711563)

Mental health conditions are really increasing worldwide. Mainly because of
demographic changes, there has been a 13% rise in mental health conditions and substance use
disorders in the last decade (to 2017). Mental health conditions now cause 1 in 5 years lived
with disability. Around 20% of the world’s children and adoslescents have a mental health
condition, with suicide the second leading cause of death among 15-29 years old.
Approximately one in five people in post-confict settings have a mental health condition.

A mental health problems can have a wide range of causes. It’s very likely that many
people there is a complicated combination of factors – although different people may be more
deeply affected by certain things than others. For example : childhood abuse, trauma, or neglect.
Social isolation or loneliness. Experiencing discrimination and stigma, including racism. Social
disadvantage, poverty, or debt. Unemployment or losing your job. Homelessness or poor
housing. Drug and alcohol misuse. Domestic violence, bullying or other abuse as an adult.

Mental health conditions can have a substantial effect on all areas of life, such as school
or work performance, relationships with family and friends and ability to participate in the
community. Two of the most common mental health conditions, depression, and anxiety, cost
the global economy US$1 trillion each year.

My thoughts on this news, that mental health is a very dangerous problem these days.
So many victims of bullying, racism, childhood abused, and many more, that can cause to their
mental and mind too. People may talk or saying something mean very easily to the victims but
the impact from the victims that they get is truly hurt for them. So you may think first before
talk or say and even when taking an action it’s better to think first. It is affect to people feelings
or not. And also each country or the government should take an action about mental health
maybe could be spread awareness, information about mental health, and the dangerous of
violence.

Mentahl health can affect to my personal life, because I was a victim of bullying when
Elementary school. And it ruined my mind and mental too, I even can’t stop crying because
everytime I got home from school I would cry and my mom would asked me everyday. I even
told my mom that I want to move out from that school and find other schools. So we should
stop bullying and other violence to human beings. We should spread kindness to everyone.
