The past two years has been hard for everyone. COVID-19 has placed a lot of mental strain, stress and created anxiety for people. Families have been impacted. We have seen an increase in suicides due to COVID, domestic violence and marriages have ended. For you to maintain psychological balance (good mental health) you need to start taking responsibility for your own mental health.
The basic meaning of mental health refers to all aspects of the psychological and activity process in a good or normal state. Mental health has different meanings from different perspectives, and the measurement standards are also different. Whatever good mental health means to you, you need to find strategies and solutions that will help you to be resilient and able to cope with life challenges.
Your evolving environment: your personality characteristics are different to others; your emotional reactions are not the same as others; so, you need to develop your own mental health plan.
Most people tend to go to their doctor first when they are feeling overwhelmed, but medication should not be the first choice. Learning techniques and strategies that you can implement you cope is a learnt life skill. Once you have mastered the techniques and skills you will find things are easier to deal with.
