Awareness of Mental health and Stress Problems

Positive outcomes have been reported as a result of mental health awareness week programmes. Several techniques have been implemented to raise awareness and combat the stigma associated with mental illness, including family member participation, treatment sensitization, and social inclusion.

Lack of understanding about mental diseases creates a barrier to the delivery of mental health services.

Research has emphasized the need for community-based systems in low-income countries and has demonstrated beneficial benefits in increasing awareness and thus involvement.

Health literacy and information are two sides of the same coin. Discrimination and stigma are harmful effects of ignorance and disinformation.

Mental health literacy entails recognizing symptoms, identifying reasons, self-help, facilitating professional intervention, and navigating the information superhighway.
Attitudes that obstruct recognition and appropriate help-seeking can be overcome with freely available public information. There are numerous examples of how increased awareness has a beneficial effect on mental health outcomes, such as the Norwegian campaign to shorten the period of untreated psychosis.

Stress is also a natural feeling of inability to cope with specific demands and situations. However, if a person does not take action to control their stress, it might develop into a chronic condition. These demands may be from a job, relationships, financial strains, or other circumstances, but anything that poses a genuine or perceived threat to a person's well-being can produce stress. Stress may be a motivator, and in some cases, it is necessary for survival. The fight-or-flight response mechanism of the body instructs a person when and how to respond to danger. However, when the body is triggered too frequently or when too many stresses are present simultaneously, it can wreak destruction on a person's mental and physical health and become hazardous.

What are some ways of relieving stress?
While you cannot eliminate stress, you can prevent it from becoming overwhelming by implementing the following everyday strategies:

• Exercise when you begin to experience stress-related symptoms. Even a brief stroll might improve your attitude.
• After each day, reflect on what you've accomplished - not on what you haven't.

• Establish daily, weekly, and monthly goals. Narrowing your perspective will give you a sense of control over both immediate and long-term activities.
• Consider discussing your concerns with a therapist or your healthcare professional.

Stress is a common aspect of life, and we all experience it daily. While some stress is beneficial, chronic stress can result in significant physical and mental health problems. Excessive stress can also be detrimental to relationships. National Stress Awareness Day, observed on the first Wednesday in November, aims to raise awareness about and help people cope with stressors in their lives. It falls on November 4 this year.

It is critical to identify stressors that affect our physical and mental health and to take action to manage them. As we all know, stress is inextricably related to mental health in two ways. The reality is that stress may wreak havoc on one's mental health and exacerbate existing difficulties. On the other side, mental health issues can contribute to stress as well.
