Essay Writing on social issues / Additional Information you

may wish to share with us for improvement.
Answer:

MENTAL HEALTH

Mental health can be referred to as the psychological, emotional, and social well-being of
an individual. Though mental health does not have a proper definition, it is roughly termed
as the healthy and sound mental state of an individual. As human beings, we often neglect
the status of our mental health. It happens more frequently because it might not come to a
person’s notice that his/her mental health is deteriorating. An individual’s mental health is
associated with a lot of factors that drive negative emotions in the mind. Stress, anxiety,
and depression are some of the most widely existing mental health conditions in human
beings. These leads serious mental health problems such as schizophrenia, personality
disorders, and many more.

Doctors also believe that these mental health issues are the result of the hectic and chaotic
life that humans are leading to. Most mental health problems are also driven by an
extreme situation from the past that leaves an everlasting impact on the individual’s mind
and body. It's not just related to your emotional or psychological well-being, its way
beyond that. The situation further extends to hampering the behaviour of an individual. It
makes a person aggressive, vulnerable, socially distant, and much more. All these are
noticeable symptoms of poor mental health.

As per Science and medicine, there are various factors that can deteriorate an individual’s
mental health. These factors are classified as environmental factors, emotional factors,
physical factors, and of course mental factors. Unhappy relationships, peer pressure, career
stress, childhood abuse or trauma, family problems, mishappening with a loved person,
loneliness, isolation, social deprivation, lack of acceptance, and various other factors drive
pessimistic thoughts in human beings. Thus, it is said that your body and mind are
influenced by anything and everything in and around you.

An individual can work on improving his/her mental health by seeking external help and
practicing a healthy and mindful life. People can start by eating healthy, reducing their
screen time, indulging themselves in activities that bring pleasure and peace, and sleeping
peacefully. It is important for people to avoid places and people that bring chaos and
negative emotions into their lives. A psychologist/counsellor can help you to understand
the pattern of your mental disorders and work on it. I think it's high time, that we start
talking about mental health issues with an open heart and instead help others in
overcoming these challenging times. Celebration of World Mental Health Day is one such
initiative that focuses on encouraging open conversations about mental health disorders
and seeking external help.
