First things first, we are not a professional on physiological health information, these are just lines with our opinion.
In every stage of our life from childhood to adulthood, mental health plays a vital and indispensable role, but is still overlooked and not given the attention it needs. Mental health, in simple words, is the state of being emotionally, psychologically, and socially well.
In this world of rat race, we have forgotten to take care of our mental health; It is shockingly ironic that in the pursuit of happiness we often ignore our mental health and try to push ourselves to such an extent that and we are on the brink of having serious mental health problems, however, do not have the desire to act on it as we regard it as a futile or insignificant part of our life. We fail to realize that with this attitude we only intensify the stress and ignoring it can keep it away for some time but in the long term it affects our cognition greatly.
It is a topic which most people tend to misunderstand, and this must sound easy and not that important but this small topic goes into the deepest ranges.
Having issues like anxiety, stress, etc doesn’t only affect your mental health, but also makes you lose the will to work on the things you once loved.
Also losing the will to talk to people and make you closer to catching harmful addictions.
At a period like this, where the pressure is immaculate, and 8 months of no real human interaction, the mind works out to overthink.
When at the peak of all this, small problems tend to look unsolvable, which might discourage one.
This society might be very educated on these topics but mental health is still taken as a ‘disease’ and is a shame to talk about, why?
All of it because we are expected to always be happy, and store the feelings again. it’s taken as it’s not serious when it’s as harmful as any other disease. Having anxiety, depression, stress is not a shame or a ‘fault’, no matter what you think, talking about it can save tons of lives and change several mindsets
As a teenager in the Gen Z arena, lots of people self diagnose themselves and take one period of problems in life as an occurrence of stress or depression.
This doesn’t mean that their struggle isn’t serious, it means that it’s not necessarily depression but just a face of issues in life, self-diagnosing can not be as harmful, but it’s still making yourself feel down when you can be at your best inside.
Life is a deep term, one which is viewed by different people with different ideas/views, helping them build up and make it a better one is what the surroundings do:)
