about mental health - merehan - 16-02-2023 02:13 AM
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects the way we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we deal with stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. 1 Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
Although the two terms are often used interchangeably, poor mental health and mental illness are not the same. A person can have a mental health impairment and not be diagnosed with a mental illness. Likewise, a person with a mental illness can go through periods of poor physical, mental, and social well-being.
Why is mental health important to public health?
Mental and physical health are equally important components of general health. For example, depression increases the risk of many types of physical health problems, particularly long-term conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Likewise, having chronic conditions can increase your risk of developing mental illness
Can your mental health change over time?
Yes, it is important to remember that a person's mental health can change over time, depending on many factors. When the demands placed on a person exceed their resources and coping capabilities, their mental health can be affected. For example, if someone works long hours, takes care of a relative, or is experiencing economic hardship, they may be experiencing poor mental health.
How common is mental illness?
Mental illnesses are among the most common health conditions in the United States.
More than 50% will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lives
1 in 5 Americans will suffer from a mental illness in a given year
One in five children, either now or at some point in their lives, will suffer from a seriously debilitating mental illness
1 in 25 Americans has a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression.
What causes mental illness?
There is no single cause of mental illness. A number of factors can contribute to the risk of mental illness, such as:
Adverse early life experiences, such as trauma or a history of abuse (eg, child abuse, sexual abuse, witnessing violence, etc.)
Experiences related to other ongoing (chronic) medical conditions, such as cancer or diabetes
Biological factors or chemical imbalances in the brain
Abuse of alcohol or drugs
Feeling lonely or isolated
