MENTAL HEALTH IN AN UNEQUAL WORLD 

"I tried suic*de twice but today i am still alive"- Anonymous.

We really don't know the damage mental illness have dealt with a lot of persons. Personally, i have a story. Not today. Definitely not but what can i say to mental health; it's a lot fragile and need to be protected. 

Mental health, defined by the World Health Organization, is "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community".

Mental health comes in various positions; Excessive paranoia, worry, or anxiety, long-lasting sadness,  factor of social stigma and mental breakdown. 

Have you ever tried to forget a short coming you suffer and by default you are constantly remembered by your environment? It's a lot disappointing that a lot people go through trauma just because many aren't sensitive to what they say. Without seeking pity, I've had my share of this so as many. Every word that emanates from you should be properly checked; imagine someone who is obessed and tries to battle with that thought  is constantly reminded that he has obesity by his environment in the name of cruise. Yes! We shouldn't take a lot things to heart but being tagged with an actual defect can put one in a depressed state. 

This is one of the factors to poor mental health...

Other factors are:

Low self-esteem. 

Feeling un-loved

Lack of confidence

Family breakup or loss

Difficult behaviour

Physical ill health

Physical abuse

To mention a few.

All these can result to trauma. You don't know what trauma is? Click here.

Poor mental health has taken some people off social gathering and given them addiction. Given some a reason to make rash decision on their demise after which people write epistle about it. Never make someone feel inferior because of his or her deformity; it might be cuise to you but to him or her the bed soaks all the tears.

This mental health issue common and starts as early as teenage age and can last for as long as one lives. Having confused thinking or reduced ability to concentrate, excessive fears or worries, or extreme feelings of guilt, extreme mood changes of highs and lows, withdrawal from friends and activities is a proof that one has poor mental health. It's disastrous. 

Not all illness are visible. Please save a life by being sensitive. 

YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IS YOUR LIFE. TAKE CARE OF IT.
