This must not be avoided - Mental Health

Mental Health is basically a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities and some of the questions are considered which are as follows : 

  • Can they cope with the normal stresses of life, 

  • Can they work productively,

  • Are they able to make a contribution to their community?

Mental Health is “more than just the absence of mental disorders or disabilities.” Peak mental health is about not only avoiding active conditions but also looking after ongoing wellness and happiness. Preserving and restoring mental health is crucial on an individual basis, as well as throughout different communities and societies the world over. 

If we talk about the situation during the pandemic, Mental Health has not only affected people above the age of 40 but also the young generation. The outbreak of COVID-19 affected the lives of all sections of society as people were asked to self-quarantine in their homes to prevent the spread of the virus. The lockdown had serious implications on mental health, resulting in psychological problems including frustration, stress, and depression.  According to the research, the impact of COVID-19 on the students of different age groups: time spent on online classes and self-study, medium used for learning, sleeping habits, daily fitness routine, and the subsequent effects on weight, social life, and mental health.

Moreover, our research found that in order to deal with stress and anxiety, participants adopted different coping mechanisms and also sought help from their near ones. Here are some of the ways by which you can have control of your mental health.

  1. Talk about your feeling

  2. Take a break from what you are doing

  3. Do something you are good at

  4. Accept who you are

  5. Care for others
