Mental health defines how people people and react toward certain situations that they face in their lives. How do we know if people’s mental health is good or bad? How it was formed.
We all grow up with different cultures and traditional values, and these things perform the basic structure of our value system. Our mental health is directly related to our past experiences, so we always have to understand other people’s thoughts and experiences before judging them.
Mental illness affects all age groups of people, and it can be anxiety, depression, OCD, binge eating, eating disorders, and others. According to https://www.usa.edu/blog/mental-health-statistics/#:~: text=The%20National%20Institutes%20of%20Health,some%20form%20of%20mental%20illness.&text=The%20severity%20of%20a%20mental%20illness%20can%20vary%20from%20person%20to%20person. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that 57.8 million adults live with some form of mental illness.
How has social media become a cause of this illness?
As the world is developing so fast and we are living in the technology of the AI world. We all have access to all social platforms, like Facebook, Instagram, etc. These platforms allow people to share their lives in the form of pictures and videos. and normal people like us think how great there life is? when we are also able to live this kind of life, so what we do is started at copying their thoughts, their things, and how they perform in this reel, which went viral, and try to do it as well as they did to get famous.
The main problem with these platforms is addiction . good old day children were playing outside of their houses with their friends, but at present they are just using their phones to watch videos on YouTube or play some games, which affects their mental and physical health as they are engaged in their cell phone. According to my own experience, people get much more connected to the phone than their family. which results in less interaction between people who are around, and what happens is that they are not able to express themselves and cause mental illness in them. Sometimes, even in stress,they think watching a lot of shots or reels can divert their mind from a problem, but in reality, it does not solve their problem.
How would you analyze your mental health?
By self-introspecting sometimes, it means spending some time with yourself, just reliving your life. Imagine how your life was when you were 5, 8, or 10. How great was that time? What are your life experiences? How do you handle that difficult situation at the time? I mean passing the exam or becoming a topper in your class. By recalling those experiences when you starting to walk for the first time , start speaking your first word, your first alphabetical letter that you write, and allot of experience when you get success.celebarte each end every small sucess like winning a cricket match .
What is the solution to your mental health illness?
- Always consider whatever the problem is. Is it a phase of life that will pass? and best thing the problem always come with a solution .
- Write all your thoughts on paper about how you are feeling.
- Try to talk with some people you trust.
- If you dont trust someone, then see that paper again and ask yourself if you are elder and if this problem is faced by your the younger bothers which is you, what would you advise them to do? (This means asking for a solution from your older version.)
Life is like a journey where you have to go through highs and lows. So yeah, you have to be strong and keep smiling.
Thank you for reading it.
