Mental Health for Overall Well-Being

 















Mental health refers to behavioral, cognitive, and emotional well-being. What you feel and how you behave are considered to evaluate your mental health. When you aren't suffering from any mental disorder, it means your mental health is good. If your mental health isn't good, your ability to fight challenges and cope with stress gets affected. You will also find it difficult to overcome hardships or socialize yourself. Around 15% of diseases across the globe are because of mental illnesses.

 

Most common mental disorders

 

Every fourth person in this world is at risk of developing mental disorders sometime or the other in their lives. Although there is treatment available for mental disorders, barely a small percentage seek professional help while in need. Misconceptions and stigma revolving in the surrounding environment make it difficult for people to get proper treatment and care. Let's know a few common mental disorders that one might be suffering from.

 

  1. Mood disorders: People suffering from a mood disorder will have mood fluctuations at extreme levels. Either they would be too high on energy or they will be under depression as their mood fluctuates.
  2. Phobia: A person suffering from a phobia might have a fear of animals or situations. Some people might also suffer from social phobia which prevents them from socializing much.

  4. Anxiety disorders: Patients in this condition might have anxiety due to certain situations or fear of particular objects. Symptoms may include disturbed sleep and restlessness.
  5. Panic disorders: A person might have sudden panic attacks or overwhelming terror in this condition.
