Mental health should be a priority just like physical health! Apparently, seeking medical help for mental reasons have been considered a huge societal taboo for generations. It is something that people are still not able to fully take into consideration in our world. I have seen and heard many people repeatedly getting ostracized by their family and peers when it comes to overcoming their psychological turmoil. Our society is promoting physical health over mental health and this bothers me to quite an extent. First of all, there wouldn't be a healthy person if that person is not happy both internally and externally. In order to lead a healthy lifestyle, it is of utmost importance that you are mentally stable and content with the direction life is taking you.
There are certain levels of events and situations which trigger the onset of mental disorders like depression, anxiety, Schizophrenia, etc. The most prevalent forms of mental disorders are depression, anxiety, and mood disorders amongst the youth of today. Many youngsters of today experience increased amounts of pressure in terms of their educational and future career. Not living up to their full potential discourages them to quite an extent leading to their emotional downfall i.e. depression. Many of my friends are too anxious to appear and even take exams on a regular basis. This is something I strongly believe needs to be cured and improved because exams are always going to be an integral facet of our lives even after college.
On the other hand, many adults suffer from horrible marriages and painful divorces leading them further towards the dungeon of depression, stress, and insecurity. A prime example is that of my friend's mother who is a single mom with two kids and life is not the same after her divorce. She is constantly under a lot of stress when it comes to raising her two kids who are still teenagers and managing everything without her husband. Such chronic stress has also transformed her into a somewhat delusional person at times. The constant realization that someone has brutally suffered from a painful marriage is one wound that perhaps time doesn't heal quickly.
As a young woman, I applaud single-moms who work tremendously to ensure a stable ambiance for their children to thrive in. Essentially, it speaks volumes of a women's never-ending power and how mentally strong they strive to portray themselves in our conventional world. Exhibiting a stable mental state will enable people of all ages to think more rationally and make conscious decisions which will significantly contribute towards them staying actively fit.
