World Mental Health Day
We're here to celebrate World Mental Health Day!
On 10 October, we joined together to celebrate mental health and raise awareness about the importance of taking care of our minds.
We also know that mental illness doesn't discriminate, and we're committed to providing support and resources for people across all walks of life who have experienced a mental illness or are currently experiencing symptoms. We'll be sharing more about how we're doing this in our upcoming blog post!
We celebrate World Mental Health Day because it's a day to acknowledge and promote the importance of mental health.
Mental health is an important part of our lives and communities, but it can be hard to recognize when someone you know is struggling. We hope this day will give everyone a chance to learn more about mental health and find ways to support each other.
We also encourage you to be kind to yourself—it's easy to think that if a person you know is having a hard time, it must be their fault. But there are many reasons why someone might have trouble coping with things in life, and there is no shame in seeking help if you need it.
Mental health is a set of traits that describe how well people are able to manage their emotions and stress, and how they feel about themselves. People with good mental health have a higher quality of life, feel more confident and satisfied with their lives, have fewer stress-related physical problems, and are less likely to suffer from mental illness.
There are many different types of mental illnesses that can affect anyone at any time in their lives. These include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. These illnesses can cause severe problems for people with them. People who are diagnosed with mental illness also face stigma when they're out in public because they often cannot hide the symptoms or keep up appearances as others do.
On World Mental Health Day, we celebrate all the people around the world who are living with mental illnesses.
Symbol Of Mental Health Awareness
The green ribbon is the international symbol of mental health awareness. It represents the hope that everyone can live a healthy, happy life by staying connected with their emotions and thoughts so they can make informed decisions.
Theme Of Mental Health 2022
The theme of World Mental Health Day this year is ensuring mental health and well-being for all becomes a global priority, but this starts with focusing on and prioritizing your own mental health.
Doing What Matters in Times of Stress!
Mental health is not something that you're born with. You can't just decide to be happy, sad, or stressed out. It's a choice, and it's something you do.
Mental health issues are far more common than we realize—1 in 5 Americans will experience mental illness in their lifetime, and 1 in 4 will experience a mental disorder at some point during that time period.
There are a lot of reasons for this! Stress, family pressures, low self-esteem… the list goes on and on! The good news is that there are ways to help yourself manage your stress and get back on track when things start going south.
When you're going through a rough patch, it can be hard to know what to do. The stress and anxiety can feel overwhelming, and you feel like you're doing everything you can—but still not getting anywhere.
With the right tools and attitude, though, you can take control of your mental health and start living the life that matters to you! Here are three facts about mental health that we've found helpful in our own lives:
Mental Health
Mental health is something that affects everyone, no matter what you do or who you are. It's a part of life that can affect your work, your relationships, and even your physical health.
Mental Health Is A Topic That We Don't Talk About Enough.
And that's a shame because it's important to know the facts about mental health and how to celebrate World Mental Health Day.
Here are three Facts about mental health:
1. 1 in 5 Australians experience mental illness each year (that's one in five people).
2. Half of all Australians will experience mental illness at some point in their lives (that's half of all people).
3. One in six Australian adults reports having experienced a major depressive episode during the past 12 months (that's one in six people).
Most Common Mental Disorders
In this article, we're going to discuss the facts about mental health—and we'll also explore some of the most common mental disorders and how they can affect you.
The most common types of mental illness include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, substance-use disorders (including addiction), and personality disorders. There are also specific personality types that are more prone to developing these disorders: people who are more likely to develop anorexia nervosa (the eating disorder) or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) tend to be perfectionists; those who are more likely to develop bipolar disorder tend to be impulsive; those with schizophrenia tend to have paranoid traits, and those with depression tend to have low self-esteem.
It's a good idea to talk to a doctor if you're experiencing any of these symptoms:
- Difficulty sleeping or staying asleep
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Feelings of hopelessness or self-loathing
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Thoughts of suicide or death
- Feelings of rage or revenge toward others
- Withdrawal from friends, family members, schoolwork, extracurricular activities, etc.
- Alcohol or drug abuse problems (if applicable).
You can celebrate World Mental Health Day by making sure that everyone around you knows how important their mental health is! Reach out to friends and family members who might need some extra support during this time (or if they just need someone to listen), and invite those close to them over for dinner so.
On World Mental Health Day, we hope everyone takes the time to reflect on how important it is for us all to take care of our minds so we can live happier lives filled with joy and laughter!
