The Connection Between Mental Health and Physical Health
Chronic physical health issues increase the risk of mental health disorders. Mental health disorders increase the risk of chronic health conditions. The two are intrinsically linked.
Why is Mental Health Important for Overall Health?
According to the Mayo Clinic, mental health is our overall wellness in terms of how we think, and regulate our feelings and behaviours. When people experience a significant disturbance in the way they function, psychologically they may be suffering from poor mental health. What many do not realize is that when we struggle without mental health it can have a notable knock-on effect in our aspects of out lives. Conditions such as depression, anxiety and chronic stress can damage us in more ways than simply mental anguish. This is why it is vital to pay close attention to our mental health.
What Causes Mental Illness?
Mental health disorders or mental illness is an umbrella term for a range of conditions. These are disorders or illnesses that affect your behaviour, mood, and thinking. Some examples of mental health disorders include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictive behaviour, OCD, and schizophrenia. Sometimes, people have mental health moments, but it moves from moment to illness when the symptoms result in frequent stress and impacts your ability to handle daily functions.
What Is Mental Health?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), our mental health is an important aspect of who we are. Our mental health is made up of our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. The state of a person’s mental health can have an impact on all aspects of their lives. If they are struggling with their mental health person will likely experience problems in their day-to-day lives. Solid mental health on the other hand can be the key to success and happiness.
