People shouldn’t really be ashamed of talking about their mental health because it is a huge issue in the world. If we assess the rate of advancements in the field of mental health, it seems to be slow. Without mental health, there can be no true physical health, said Dr. Brock Chisholm, the first Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO).


Mental Health Education:

Positive results have always come from mental health awareness efforts. Participation by family members, sensitization to treatment, and social inclusion are some of the tactics used to target awareness and combat stigma surrounding mental illness.

“Lack of knowledge about the mental illnesses poses a challenge to the mental health care delivery system.”

Research has emphasised the importance of community-based systems in countries and has shown fruitful outcomes in raising mental health awareness.

Few Advice to Preserve Mental Health:

Our total health and happiness depend heavily on maintaining the health of our thoughts. Your physical and emotional well-being are equally vital to you. You can operate better and deal with the ups and downs of life if you have good mental health. Getting professional assistance is always preferable, but let me mention a few methods I use to keep my thoughts in check.

  • Spend time with the individuals you care about and who you can trust.
  • Regularly share your feelings with someone.
  • Don’t use unlawful substances like alcohol, narcotics, or tobacco.
  • Maintain a nutritious diet and exercise every day.
  • Test your abilities and learn new skills.
  • Make time for yourself and comprehend your problems.
  • You might feel more rested and alert when you wake up by getting adequate sleep.
  • Stop thinking about the past or the future and focus on the here and now.
  • Give attention to downtime and reflection.
  • Develop self-compassion by telling yourself things like “you’re not broken,” “you can do this,” and “you’re not alone.”
