Many people struggle with mental health.It may be hard to open up about your struggles, but you should have someone you can talk to. Mental health could affect how you trust others who may trigger you by saying the wrong things.
Mental health is a condition of well-being when a person is aware of their strengths and able to manage everyday challenges. No matter how happy you think you may be, everyone has mental health problems.
Mental health is a big issue, which doesn’t get talked about enough, but it can really take a turn on how someone views something.
Types of mental health issues include eating disorders, mental illness, bipolar, PTSD, depression and paranoia, which are all things that people deal with on a daily basis.
“About 60 percent of young Americans with severe depression receive no treatment, according to Mental Health America,” according to a New York Times article, “Are We Talking Too Much About Mental Health?”
Teens and college students have it the worst. It might be because of school, but it also might just be their hormones and dealing with new, and different emotions.
A Yale student told The New York Times about improving mental health on her campus: “As a college student, I see a generation of young people around me impacted by a depth and breadth of loneliness and exhaustion.”
I admit having the same feeling when it comes to doing things, I procrastinate, and I know it’s a bad habit.
A lot of people don’t talk about what is going on in their lives, whether it is just talking about random things to get them off their minds or talking to a therapist.
It is important to talk about what’s on your mind, because if you keep feelings inside, they will start to build up until you can’t take it anymore, and you just cry.
According to Talkspace: “Research shows that stress can have a detrimental effect on academic performance.”
A student’s stress may impact their mental health and cause them to perform poorly on assignments. And getting a poor grade causes students to experience more stress.
As a social media user, I see a lot of teenagers pour their hearts out to the media. They do so because they simply have no one to vent to.
I admit I do the same, because when I try to open myself up to someone, I’m frequently judged.
When it comes to sharing my feelings and they joke about it, it hurts. Many people I know don’t reach out for help to their family because they feel like their parents won’t be serious about how they feel.
