May Is Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental health is one of the most important things, one can ever take care of. Mental health issues can be emotionally painful and affect one socially, especially for children and teenagers. Words can be very powerful, especially ones that make fun of mental health issues, in return creating a sense of shame, feelings of guilt and loss of self-esteem and inadequacy. When children and teens are exposed to these they face fears of rejection, loneliness and isolation. The importance of a healthy self esteem and self worth is crucial during these impressionable years. Once diagnosed with a mental health problem, this "stigma" often creates a great barrier to ensuring a happy life. Experts agree the mind is one of the hardest things to control. It is much easier to swing into an upset mindset than to have a positive outlook on life, Especially with all the negativity that surrounds us these days. With increasing Economic troubles and the stresses from work and family, more people than ever are struggling to stay positive these days. Some warning signs for depression are: Lethargy during the day (Lack of motivation), Sleeplessness at night, Loss of appetite, eating excessively, and being easily irritated.
Stress can be one of the major underlying causes of disease. Your everyday stresses cause Free radical damage which is cell damage inflicted by molecules created within our own bodies, which slow the aging process and increase the possibilities of developing fatal illnesses, such as cancer.
The Good news is there are plenty of options to help you get through those rough patches. Having the right mindset and giving your body the proper nutrition can help you maximize your health benefits and increase your vitality, It’s up to you to take that first step though. One great site we found is MentalhealthAmerica.net, not only do they offer a wide variety of information on this subject but they also have a help line you can call which we feel is very important. Talking to someone is one of the best ways to get yourself out of a rut sometimes an outside point of view of whatever you are feeling is the best way to combat the problem. Another suggestion we make is taking a good Multi Vitamin and antioxidant combo, this will help protect your healthy cells and fight the damage being done by free radicals in your body.
One important thing to remember during all of this is most of the time not doing anything at all about the situation your in is more painful in the long run. Getting out of your comfort zone is difficult but can be the best way to get ahead.
