Essentials Of Highly Healthy People

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITION

Health is derived from the old English word "whole". The definition of Health is intended to include those things that "make a person whole" which means more than just physical well-being.

In 1948, World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as a state of complete physical, mental, social or relational well-being and not merely the absence or disease of infirmity. The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.

In 1984, WHO added spirituality to its list of factors necessary for optimum health. If we are to be truly healthy, the physical, mental and spiritual elements must be functioning as God designed them to function. The physical may be the most unimportant of the three because with good mental and spiritual health, we can still be content even though our bodies may be unhealthy.

From ancient to modern times, authoritative sources indicates that health is continually defined in terms of the physical, emotional, mental, relational and spiritual well-being. Health is a major topic in the Bible and it is viewed primarily as the restoration and strengthening of one's personal relationship with God. It is also viewed as a healthy lifestyle (physically and emotionally) that focuses on passing healthy relationships with your family and with other people.

Being highly healthy means being healthy in every area of your life during every stage of your life. It means being balanced in these areas: body, mind, spirit and community usually taken as the four "wheels" of Health. By balancing these aspects of health, you can become blessed and thus, highly healthy.

2.0 PRINCIPLES ESSENTIAL TO BEING HIGHLY HEALTHY

a. The essential of balance b. The essential of self-care c. The essential of forgiveness d. The essential of reducing SADness (Stress, Anxiety and Depression) e. The essential of relationships f. The essential of spiritual well-being g. The essential of positive self-image h. The essential of discovering your destiny i. The essential of personal responsibility and j. The essential of empowerment k. The essential of team work.

These are designed and programmed into the very core of our beings. It is important they are understood, learnt and applied in our daily living in order to become highly healthy.

3.0 FOUR WHEELS OF HEALTH

These wheels are likened to the four wheels of a stable car with strong spokes for each wheel all wheels in balance. They represent the:

a. physical health - the well-being of one's body

b. emotional health - the well-being of one's mental faculties and one's connection with his or her various emotions.

c. relational health - the well-being of one's association with family, colleagues and friends in the context of a community that is healthy and

d. spiritual health - the well-being of one's relationship with God

Further indepth into them shows:

(a) The physical wheel

Maximum physical health occurs when the body with all its chemicals, parts and systems is functioning as closely as possible to the way God designed it to function. For a person to be physically healthy, disease must be prevented whenever possible and treated as needed. When illness or disorder is incurable, physical health involves learning to cope with and adapt to physical disease.

With good emotional, relational and spiritual health, a person can still be highly healthy, even though his or her body may not be "whole".

The major determinants of physical health are the activities you engage in (exercises, walk), rest hours (sleep, relaxation, vacations, recreation). Intake into the body (water, good, and toxins) fruits and vegetables, mineral in-take of caffeine, tobacco, soft drinks, saturated fats, highly processed foods, fast food and sweets, illicit drugs, alcoholic drink, beverages); elimination (urine, stool, bowel movements)

(b) Emotional wheel

This is the state of maximum emotional and mental well-being. It is not the absence of emotional distress which is unavoidable for any imperfect human being. Being emotionally healthy requires learning to cope with and to embrace the full spectrum of human emotions each of us faces everyday throughout our lives. It requires healthy brain function. If the brain dyefunction is untreated, it becomes non-functional and throws his physical, emotional, relational and spiritual wheels out of balance. This has to do with stimulation (too hot, too cold or just right). If you experience too much or too little stimulation, if you are too busy or exceptionally bored, you are suffering from emotional health. Enough quiet is required in everyone's life. Another aspect which is quietness (peace, tranquility in one's soul), lack of self-worth, lack of intimacy with others, loneliness associated with accumulated grudges towards others or yourself, lack of intimacy with God are the major causes of emotional pain. Any of these lacks can lead to simmering, embittering anger towards others or yourself or God.

Life long learning is important to one's health. As the physical exercise helps the heart, muscles and bones, stay healthy, your brain benefits from mental actuality. Continuing to educate yourself and staying mentally active are ways to protect yourself from dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Regular reading, having a challenging job and participation in ongoing education is linked with sharper mind later in life. Teaching, crossword puzzles, class or church education all help the maintenance of emotional wheel.

This is the state of maximum well-being in all our social relationships - those with family, friends, neighbours, colleagues, co-workers, broader community. Relational stress and discord are inevitable as we interact with fellow human beings. We have to do all we can to prevent and "treat" disordered relationships. Relational wheel involves trusting people and relations, parents, children, spouse, extended family, friends and support groups.

The relationship you have with your parents plays a critical role in determining your ability to have good relationships with others. If your parents balanced love with discipline, freedom with limits, and nurture with training, and if your relationship with them when you became adult was healthy, enjoyable and affectionate, then you have a good relational health. The same with children and spouses. Our relations - sisters, brothers aunts, uncles, cousins and nephews have profound impact on our mental, physical and spiritual health.

Friends also play important role in predicting premature death and disease. People who have nobody caring for them, who do not feel close to anyone, have no one in whom to confide are likely to suffer premature death or disease more. Having friends who love, care for us with unconditional support give us powerful positive health benefits.

(d) Spiritual wheel

This is defined as the state of maximum well-being in our personal relationship with our creator. To be spiritually healthy, any separation or disharmony on our relationship with God must be prevented or treated. This is the most crucial one of all the other aspects of health.

Healthy people make their spiritual well-being a consistent priority by actively seeking to understand Gods plans and design for them in terms of their physical, emotional, relational and spiritual condition, seeking and accepting their creator's personal instructions and direction in their lives. If the spiritual wheel is given less attention than the other three, we cannot be highly healthy while, we are not promised a perfectly healthy physical life, the Bible promises those who have a vital personal relationship with God an abundant life one that will be full and meaningful - infused with purpose, contentment and joy.

To have spiritual health, trust in God, pray and meditate and fellowship in a faith community and faith sharing.

4.0 HOW TO BECOME A HIGHLY HEALTHY PERSON

The Essential of Balance: Set a wise balance in your life - the "health car" with its four "wheels of health" cannot run smoothly without all wheels running well i.e. being in balance. Neglecting one or more of your wheels of health will result in imbalanced health problems. You cannot become a highly healthy person without first diagnosing your unique areas of disease and maintenance.

b. The Essential of Self-care: Be proactive in preventing disease.. The secret to becoming and staying highly healthy is to prevent "disease" in body, mind, spirit and in relationships as much as is possible.

i. Exercise makes you feel healthier than eating does. Regular exercise help to control weight, improve overall health, reduce risk of such medical problems as diabetes, heart disease and osteoporosis.

ïi. Exercise for at least 30 minutes five days per week.

iii Exercise regularly and consistently to control your weight

iv. avoid highly processed foods.

v. eat nutritious diet and do not over eat. Eat foods with high fibre content, whole grains, nuts, sugar yogurt and low in calories, salt, saturated fats and refined sugars. Health enhancing fish is important too.

vi. drink lots of water and do not smoke.

vii. consume plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

viii. do not consume alcohol or tobacco products.

ix. Practice and enjoy regular sex with your legal spouse in mutually monogamous relationship.

c. The Essential of Forgiveness: Practice acceptance and letting go.

F = Forgiving is highly healthy O = Organize your thoughts by writing R = Review your experience G = Give the Boot to anger and Regret I = Invest in removing resentment V = Victory comes in forgiving others I = Increase your gratitude for the past pain N = Navigate to inner place G = Give comfort to others.

d. The Essential of Reducing SADness-stress, Anxiety and depression). Lighten your load.

1. STRESS is any change that required you to adapt or change the way you are doing something. Stress is virtually unavoidable in contemporary life. Stress can come from big things - retirement, job change, pregnancy, new baby, loss of loved one, new school, new job or from little things - change in weather, flat tyre or traffic jam, sudden deadline, misplaced house keys or an electrical outage. These events are technically called stressors. Some stress is good. We are made to withstand some amount of stress which can help us grow physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually. Too much stress at one single time or for too long a time usually called chronic stress can lead to weakness in all 4 of our health wheels. We are created to respond to stress in a variety of physical, emotional, and spiritual ways. When confronted with more stress than we are designed for - a large stress all at once or smaller amount of relentless.

Stress, our blood pressure and pulse increase. In the short run, this is healthy but in the long run, if the natural fight (stress) response becomes our way of life and can hurt in many ways:

ii. it can damage blood vessels and heart

iii. it can cause the body to release hormons that cause the liver to release sugar, store fat.

iv. it can cause adrenal glands to "poop out".

v. it can cause our muscles to tense up

vi. it can increase the release of stomach acid and affect the motility of the intestine and colon leading to a variety of gastrointestinal upsets and disturbances.

vii. it can suppress the immune system - possibly making us more susceptible to infections and to certain chronic illnesses.

viii. Too much stress can and will keep you from becoming a highly healthy person.

2. ANXIETY in its most basic form is healthy - designed by our Creator to arouse us to and get us ready for action. Anxiety can prepare you physically and emotionally for a threatening situation. Anxiety is designed both to help us cope and to assist us in performing at a high level. But an anxiety disorder occurs when normal anxiety does the opposite - instead of helping you cope, it prevents you from coping and dramatically disrupts your daily life.

General anxiety disorder comes on without any trigger. People with general anxiety disorder worry about health, money, job, family or work. They are unable to relax and often have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Their worries are almost accompanied by physical symptoms such as trembling, twitching, muscle tension, headaches, irritability, sweating or hot flashes; nauseated, go to bathroom frequently, have palpitations or atypical chest pains, feel tired, cannot concentrate and suffer depression. This is more common in women than in men.

3. DEPRESSION weakens the emotional wheel and prevents people from becoming highly healthy. It often accompanies anxiety disorder. Depression is commonly accompanied by feeling of sadness, apathy and hopelessness as well as changes in appetite or sleep. Depression can also make it difficult for some people to concentrate. Some types of depression can be treated using modern anti-depression medications, dietary supplements, nutritional therapies, exercise, light therapy, pastoral counseling or psychotherapy. Some researchers conclude that depression is caused by an imbalance in the hormones of the brain.

4. The Essential of Relationship: Avoid loneliness. Loneliness leads to evil plans. If your brain stays idle, it becomes sick and deteriorates into the devil's workshop and you become automatically the devils work tool. Always engage yourself in meaningful ventures.

i. live with and depend on the extended family who offer cradle to grave security and support.

ii. avoid loneliness, relationships with neighbours, family and friends are vital.

iii. respect the elders so that when they become elderly, they enjoy the admiration, honour, esteem and affection of their families and of society.

iv. Build family intimacy.

5. The Essential of spiritual well-being: Cultivate a time for spirituality.

The Bible promises that if we choose to trust God and live according to the purpose he designed for each of us or we can rely instead on our own finite plans and efforts. It promises also that if we choose God to fill and empower our very Souls, then we will develop spiritual fruit that endures, regardless of our circumstances or the state of our physical, emotional, or relational health. All the good things of life - right marriage, right job, right kids, right amount of money, right car or house or clothes can only be added to the most important element of wellness, namely, seeking, knowing, and pleasing God. If we believe in and trust God, if we make an intimate relationship with him a priority, if he controls and empowers our lives and we seek our purpose in his grand design, then we will experience wholeness at the deepest level of our being.

Spiritual healthiness ensures longer life, lower Blood pressure, improved surgical outcomes, shorter hospital stays, improved mental health, overall well-being:

i. Place your relationship with God at the centre of your life

ii. Read, memorize and meditate on Bible passages daily.

iii. Spend time on meditation and prayer daily.

6. The essential of a positive self-image: See yourself as your Creator sees you.

Our human nature is to compare ourselves to others. This results in feelings of inferiority. This is called compare and despair problem.

If your self-esteem is low, you need to do these:

i. Avoid negative self-talk

ii. Think positively

iii. Aim above the normal standard

iv. Do the things that bring joy and satisfaction

v. Serve others.

Other essentials necessary for healthy living are:

7. The Essential of Discovering Your Destiny (Nurture your hopes and dreams) 8. The Essential of Personal Responsibility (Be your own health care controller) 9. The Essential of Empowerment (Imitation is limitation as you can get to the level you wish in your life setting your own goal for yourself). 10. The Essential of Team Work (Team up with winning health care providers)

5.0 CONCLUSION

You can decide today to live a highly healthy life having seen the methods, benefits and consequences of being healthy and not. Your destiny is in your own hands and the choice is yours. Spend time each week with highly healthy people and you will change for the better is yours. Spend time each week with highly healthy people and you will change for the better.

Healthy ways to deal with mental illness:

What is mental illness? Mental illnesses are conditions of health involving (or a combination of) changes in emotion, thinking, or behavior. In social, work or family activities, mental illnesses are associated with distress and/or problems. Nearly one in five (19%) adults in the U.S. experience some form of mental illness, one in 24 (4.1%) has a serious mental illness * one in 12 (8.5%) has a diagnosed substance use disorder. “There’s only us. There’s only this. Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road. No other way, no day but today.” — “No Day but Today,” Rent (submitted by Colleen McDaniel). It takes time and patience to find the right coping mechanism, but it can have a huge impact on how you feel. If you haven't had success with the strategies you've used, or you're looking to add a few more to your toolkit, here are seven coping mechanisms that are worth trying out suggested by mental health professionals. They are Radical Acceptance, Deep Breathing, Opposite to emotion thinking, the five senses, Mental Reframing, and Emotion awareness.

Radical Acceptance- According to Marsha Linehan (creator of dialectal behavior therapy), progressive tolerance means "fully and absolutely embracing something from the core of your soul, with your heart and mind." The idea that no matter what, you can't change a situation is included in this definition. Imagine, for instance, that a tornado is coming. Obviously, to stop the tornado you can't do anything; it's not possible. But if you agree that it's coming, you can respond, plan and stay safe. If you're lying there hoping to get the storm to stop or pretend there's no tornado, when it arrives, you'll be in real trouble. The same applies to the illness of the mind. They can't change the fact you're having a mental disorder, so any time you're wasting trying to "get rid of it" or pretending it doesn't exist just drains precious energy from them. Grant. Accept. Consider the state you are in. Then take the steps you need to take care of yourself.

Deep Breathing-At this level, relaxing is an irritating cliché, but that's because breathing deeply is really the best way to relax fear. I switched to the idea of "5 3 7" breathing while combating my own anxiety: breathe in for 5 seconds Keep the air for 3 seconds Breathe out for 7 seconds This subtle repetition sends a message to the brain that all is well (or soon). Your heart will slow its pace soon, and you'll start relaxing — sometimes without even realizing it. Opposite to emotion thinking-That's how it sounds: the instincts command you to behave in the opposite way. Say you're angry and you need to separate yourself. Reverse-to-emotion urges you to go out and be with men, isolation's reverse behavior. Fight that with something calming like meditation when you feel anxious. Switch to something that stabilizes you while you feel manic. Perhaps this strategy is one of the toughest to put into play, but the outcomes are amazing if you can do it.

The use of a technique called "the five senses" is another effective method of using the physical space to help you perceive the crisis. Instead of concentrating on a particular object, "the 5 senses" shows you what each of the senses feels in that moment. As an example, think of a PTSD flashback in the classroom. Save it! Stop it! Look around you. Look around you. See the clock's hand movement. Feel under you the chair. Listen to the voice of your professor. Smell the chalkboard's faint scent. Chew a rubber slice. It takes only a few seconds to pass through your senses and helps you keep up with what is real, what is happening right now. Mental reframing involves taking and thinking differently about an emotion or stressor. Take traffic, for instance, to get stuck. Yeah, you might say, "Oh, my life is terrible. It's awful. Due to this rain, I'll be late. Why is this happening to me always? “Or you can reframe the thought that might seem like it," The traffic is bad, but I'm still going to get where I go. I can do nothing, so I'm just going to listen to music or an audiobook to spend time. "Perfecting this technology literally can change your point of view in difficult situations. But this ability takes time and practice, as you might imagine.

Emotion Awareness- If you live in denial, it will take much longer to care for your emotions, because once we realize what we feel, we can deal with it or what it causes. So, if you're afraid, take a few minutes to meditate, let's you be anxious. If you're angry, just get angry— then listen to some soothing music. Taking your feelings into account. Allow yourself to feel like you are, and then take action to reduce unhealthy feelings. You can't control your psychological condition, but you can monitor how you react to your symptoms. This isn't easy or easy (like everything else with mental illness), but it can make you feel better emotionally, spiritually and physically by learning, practicing and perfecting treatments. I have tried all of the above approaches and changed the way I deal with the challenges of mental health. To heal from mental disease, it takes strength and determination–in the expectation of feeling better, to try to battle symptoms. You are incredibly strong to survive them, even if you feel weak or helpless about your daily battles. Simple and practical methods can help you fight. Consider these techniques, and the way you feel and live your life will change clearly.

9 Questions Someone with Mental Illness Wishes You Would Ask: Can you help me understand what it’s like living with your condition? Is there anything you need from me or something I can do to help you? Can we do something together – get coffee, go for a walk or see a movie? (Just because the person has mental illness doesn’t mean he/she won’t want to do regular activities), What is your diagnosis and how do you feel about it?, Do you need to talk?, Sometimes talking can help make things feel a little better, What can I do to be there for you, and help you feel supported?, How can I support you – can I listen to you, leave you alone, give you a hug?, How has living with this condition shaped who you are today?, How are you? You don’t seem like yourself, and I want to know how you’re really feeling because I care about you. “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” — Albus Dumbledore from “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” (submitted by Eva Gigis). “Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.”— Charles Bukowski from “Gamblers All” (submitted by Ashley Mobley).

Mental Health...involves effective functioning in daily activities resulting in Productive activities (work, school, caregiving), Healthy relationships, Ability to adapt to change and cope with adversity. Mental Illness...refers collectively to all diagnosable mental disorders — health conditions involving, Significant changes in thinking, emotion and/or behavior, Distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities.

1. Talk about your feelings:

Talking about your feelings can help you stay in good mental health and deal with times when you feel troubled.

2. Keep active:

Regular exercise can boost your self-esteem and can help you concentrate, sleep, and feel better. Exercise keeps the brain and your other vital organs healthy and is also a significant benefit towards improving your mental health. 3. Eat well: Your brain needs a mix of nutrients in order to stay healthy and function well, just like the other organs in your body. A diet that’s good for your physical health is also good for your mental health.

4. Drink sensibly:

We often drink alcohol to change our mood. Some people drink to deal with fear or loneliness, but the effect is only temporary. When the drink wears off, you feel worse because of the way the alcohol has affected your brain and the rest of your body. Drinking is not a good way to manage difficult feelings.

5. Keep in touch:

There’s nothing better than catching up with someone face to face, but that’s not always possible. You can also give them a call, drop them a note, or chat to them online instead. Keep the lines of communication open: it’s good for you!

6. Ask for help:

None of us are superhuman. We all sometimes get tired or overwhelmed by how we feel or when things don’t go to plan. If things are getting too much for you and you feel you can’t cope, ask for help. Your family or friends may be able to offer practical help or a listening ear. Local services are there to help you.

7. Take a break

A change of scene or a change of pace is good for your mental health. It could be a five-minute pause from cleaning your kitchen, a half-hour lunch break at work, or a weekend exploring somewhere new. A few minutes can be enough to de-stress you. Give yourself some ‘me time’.

8. Do something you’re good at

What do you love doing? What activities can you lose yourself in? What did you love doing in the past? Enjoying yourself can help beat stress. Doing an activity, you enjoy probably means you’re good at it, and achieving something boosts your self-esteem.

9. Accept who you are:

We’re all different. It’s much healthier to accept that you’re unique than to wish you were more like someone else. Feeling good about yourself boosts your confidence to learn new skills, visit new places and make new friends. Good self-esteem helps you cope when life takes a difficult turn.

10. Care for others:

‘Friends are really important… We help each other whenever we can, so it’s a two-way street, and supporting them uplifts me.’ Caring for others is often an important part of keeping up relationships with people close to you. It can even bring you closer together.

“Promise me you’ll always remember — you’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” — Christopher Robin from “Winnie the Pooh” (submitted by Monica Jean Cozadd). “Start by doing what’s necessary, then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” — Saint Francis of Assisi (submitted by Sherri Paricio Bornhoft). Most people who do not want to address mental illness. But there's nothing to be afraid of mental illness! It is just like heart disease or diabetes a medical condition. Yet symptoms of mental health can be controlled. They constantly broaden our knowledge of the workings of the human brain and therapies that assist people in the effective control of mental health conditions.

Emotional Wellbeing

Make Money

When it Comes to psychological health, there's a propensity to talk only concerning emotional wellbeing. There's a preconceived notion that the absence of any mental illness, is described as psychological wellbeing. That is totally untrue. Much like not needing any physical or bodily disease, does not force you to match; not needing any psychological disorders, does not make you emotionally well.

Make Money

Let us understand mental health in thickness.

What's Emotional Wellbeing?

• Emotional wellness is a circumstance, in which an individual can deal effectively with all the pressures of life and contribute to society, with no pressures, psychological or otherwise.

• Mental wellness is more Of an inclusive idea. Here the lack of mental illness, objectivity and endurance are joined to assess the psychological wellness of someone.

Detailed definition of wellness, said, "Health is a state of complete physical, psychological and societal well-being and not only the absence of illness or infirmity." This implies, not using a disorder does not make you healthy. What makes you healthy is a whole state of health. In addition, this is what applies to this idea of mental health.

Perhaps not Possessing any psychological illness, doesn't mean there's psychological wellbeing. Whenever we speak of psychological health, we're actually speaking about the general package. Unless a individual has clarity of thought, aim decision making ability, productivity, etc., we can't state the individual is emotionally healthy.

A Frequent mistake to be cared for, is That emotionally well and emotionally sound aren't the exact same thing! They're distinct in definition, not just clinically, but also legally. Someone who's emotionally sound might not be emotionally. He might be exceptionally disturbed.

Let's now have a peek at a few of the common mental disorders or ailments and comprehend what they indicate.

1. Depression

The most frequently known mental illness, can be employed as a term quite synonymously with intense despair.

Depression Is a condition of reduced mood and aversion to action that could influence a individual's mind, behavior, feelings and awareness of well-being. People with a gloomy mood may feel unhappy, stressed, empty, hopeless, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable, humiliated or nervous

(Note: Just to be clear, you aren't miserable if you display those symptoms alone.

Depression Is something which only a professional psychologist or psychiatrist can diagnose. The main reason I'm dreading this, is straightforward because we now have a propensity to self-diagnose.)

2. Stress

It's a condition of internal chaos, where a individual will feel an intense sense of distress, guilt and becomes more restless.

A Person having an anxiety disorder, frequently constitutes situations, before realising they're not real. Negative ideas begin to breed and also a individual loses calm readily.

3. Mood Disorders

Disposition Swings of intense range are observed within this scenario. Someone with mood disorders, is frequently Not Able to Discover a rational degree between depression and mania (Mania - exceptionally Large end Depression - exceptionally low ending of emotion)

OCD Is the inability to restrain the temptation to carry out a specific action. It's more than often a activity that becomes a regular habit, which the individual then finds impossible to not perform.

OCDs can be as normal as the necessity to wash ones every couple of minutes to harmful ones such as the necessity to self-harm.

5. Phobias

What is mental illness?

Your mental health is the key to making and maintaining relationships. It is important at every state of your life. It is also the foundation for learning, communication, thinking, resilience, and self-esteem. Mental health is your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Having good mental health is essential when dealing with stress and everyday life activities. Positive mental health allows you to work productivity, realize your potential, cope with stress, and play a meaningful role in the community. According to CDC only 17% of the adult population of the United States is consider to be in a state of good mental health. (See below for link) Mental disorders are not rare, they are very common throughout the world. There are about 54 million Americans who suffer from some sort of mental illness in a given year. Anyone can have a mental disorder; it does not discriminate against race, gender, religion or age. It can occur to anyone at any age, but it is most common at the age of 24. That being said, WebMD says that mental illness can be very common in children and more than 5 million children in the US have some type of illness. Each year there are 20% of the American Children that are diagnosed with a serious disorder.(See below for link) According to this website, http://www.nyas.org/Publications/Ebriefings/Detail.aspx?cid=9783d93d-9dd8-44a2-8be4-9e52c37ffa05&gclid=Cj0KEQiAk5zEBRD9lfno2dek0tsBEiQAWVKyuC_lqPJyfye-yFvD5oUKMUJ1J_CcBqdfqwQSnjaB5XkaAn_S8P8HAQ, mental illness ranks in the top 10 causes of disability worldwide.

“Mental illness” is not exactly an accurate term. This is because there are many physical features, including heredity and brain chemistry that can be involved in the development of a disorder.

Many people tend to think that a mental disorder is not a big deal, but just like a physical illness it can range from moderate to severe. There are more than 200 forms of mental illness, which is totally crazy. I had no idea there was that many. So what exactly is a mental illness/disorder? Well it is a disease that causes mild to severe disturbing thoughts and/or behavior. It negatively affects your thinking, mood, and behavior. It makes it hard for people to go about their everyday lives because they have the inability to deal with regular life demands and routines. It is hard for them to connect with other people and they often just want to be left alone, which can make matters worse. They don’t see their full potential and can’t cope with stress. CDC explains it as “collectively all diagnosable mental disorders” or “health conditions that are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior (or some combination thereof) associated with distress and/or impaired functioning.” Not everyone experiences the same symptoms also, even if it is the same mental disorder. The type, intensity and duration of symptoms can vary from person to person. They do not follow a regular pattern; they can come and go, making it very hard to know when they symptoms are coming on. Everyone has mental health concerns at times; it is normal to get maybe sad or stressed out. So when does a mental health concern become a mental disorder? When the problem persists and is so extreme that it prevents you from doing everyday normal routines and the symptoms are ongoing, is when it is considered a mental disorder. Some of the factors that contribute to the cause of disorders are biological(genes), life experiences such as trauma or abuse, or family history. Depression is the most common case of mental disorders. CDC also says that it affects more than 26% of the United States population. It also states that by 2020 it will be the second leading cause of disability in the world, ischemic heart disease being the first. Depression can lead to many of the other disorders.

Mental disorders are very common and coping with them can be very challenging, for you and for the people around you. But in today’s society mental disorders can be treated.
