Mental health is one of many neglected public health issues that puts human beings at great risk of depression, mortality, and suffering from other mental disorders. The amount of stigma attached to them is why mental health remains unmet by the answer. Now, during a recent interaction with the Hindustan Times, Lissun’s Leading Clinical Psychologist Shreya Malik revealed that there has been progress in the mental health sector as society is realizing the risks of neglecting emotional imbalances and behaviors that could change the way a person lives.
The psychologist reveals that the world is becoming more aware of the situation, however, the response is still a bit slow. Shreya Malik said: “Concerns about mental health are mainly centered around the world. Research suggests that around 14% of the global burden of disease is attributed to psychiatric disorders. Thus, bringing the issue of facilities and awareness in society. There are advances in mental health services that are now available around the world, with increasing awareness. But the acceptance of the same is still slowly growing.”
He went on to say that there are a lot of barriers and obstacles that often create confusion, which is why people make the mistake of neglecting some serious issues. However, the recorded awareness and acceptance of mental health globally is what is helping people avoid making a mistake. He added: “Multiple barriers act as an obstacle to looking at the mental health lens seriously, leading people to often make mistakes when dealing with themselves and those around them. This growth phase is an opportune time to explore the mental health paradigm to avoid mistakes when dealing with it.”
During the same interaction, Malik also highlighted seven factors that people neglect that can later become a major problem.
less sleepy
Keeping the body deprived of sleep can hamper its psychological functioning. Maintaining a healthy sleep pattern is necessary to reduce stress and give your body the rest it deserves.
Social networks
Social networks act as an escape for humans to a virtual place that is far from reality. People mindlessly scroll through social media apps, which is one of the main causes of anxiety.
Trusting Google
Instead of going to mental health experts, many also tend to Google their symptoms to determine their health condition. Malik states that it is essential for a person to visit an expert for help.
Neglect negative patterns
The psychologist says that many notice emotional changes and negative behavior patterns, but do not make an effort to open up about it.
Consider Mental Health a taboo
People who believe that mental health is taboo also tend to discourage others on the subject. The health expert recommends that it is essential to recognize the elephant in the room and seek proper health for it.
refrain from taking breaks
In the fast pace of life, it is essential for one to take breaks and indulge in pleasurable activities such as vacations, travel, and more.
work-life imbalance
The psychologist believes that most people can balance the fine line between work and personal life. This later becomes the driving force for stress and depression.
