Does Mental Health Really Matters ?

The term MENTAL HEALTH is a broad term that encompasses a person's physical, financial, and social well-being. Subjective well-being is another term in mental health.

self-efficacy as seen by others Autonomy, competence, and recognition of one's intellectual and emotional capacity. Individuals with this potential are able to manage with the typical stresses of life, work, and school, among other things, while still contributing to society. Mental health and mental illness, in my opinion, are mutually exclusive. When a healthy person is put under strain by society, such as by a heavy task, a lack of financial resources, mental stress, physical trauma, or gender discrimination, their normal life pattern is disrupted. 

Such illness could be in a variety of ways, it could be depression. anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt. seeking pleasure in giving pain. jealousy, agony, self-pity. superiority complex and inferiority complex, etc. All of these can eventually end up in irreplaceable psychological disorders. In most parts of the world including Pakistan, mental health is not taken seriously and mental illness is not important to people. because of this consistent ignorance today about 450 million people suffer from mental or behavioral disorders in the world according to WHO record. 50 million people are affected in Pakistan only. Among this ratio, females are affected at the rate of 11.9% than that of males are 9.3%. This is because females are exposed to more sexual violence. gender discrimination, body shaming, racism, domestic abuse, honor killings, social anxiety, fear of facing people. lack of confidence, and many others things. It is said that an educated woman creates an educated generation. But consider an uneducated, depressed, and socially unwell woman is said to create a generation, how will she create a healthy adult? It will be impossible for her to create a difference because she is unstable in her own self. She will not be able to lead a healthy house. Due to these reasons, it is believed to take care of women not only during her trimester but also after Child's birth. 

"Adolescent mental health is highly complex and understudied. In east side Europe and Central side of Asia. suicide is the leading cause of death for young people. With these absurdly increasing statistics of mental illness, the world is now highlighting this issue on different media platforms. Many psychologists and doctors share awareness of TV programs. seminars both live and virtual, through blogs, etc. The main aim is to provide a better understanding of how a person should cope with these issues before they develop serious disorders.

Turning my views towards the top-notch celebrities who we think have big homes, bigger bank accounts, fancy cars, and oodles of fans. we think celebrities have it all. we believe in what we see on TV, but reality has a different story a dark side to tell. A celebrity in this world might have everything but cannot have control over his own mind and disabilities. No amount of money can bring peace and a healthy mind.

Many of today's biggest performers are opening up about their struggles with mental illness. Their bravery in speaking openly about their illnesses raised healthy awareness of modern treatments and the value of caring support. Here are a few well-known celebrities who suffered from mental illnesses: Demi Lovato, who struggled from social anxiety issues, and Chrissy Reign, who battled from postpartum depression. Steve Young suffers with social anxiety, while Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio has claimed to having OCP. All of these celebrities became the main sources of support for mentally ill people seeking help. Every year, from May 1 to May 31, there is a mental health awareness month. This month is observed in several places of the globe. "

The maintenance of a healthy mind requires different pathways for different people. Some seek help from medications, some from therapies, and some from simple group conversations. I believe. that there should be different awareness programs in schools. colleges. universities, and offices, etc. As for our individual self, we should also try to play a positive part by showing others respect and acceptance. by being nice to others by listening to what others have to say. By advocating within our circles. If we find a victim we should give him/her a helping hand instead of judging. This activity will help to build a healthy relationship with others and eventually a healthy environment.
