WRITTEN BY : ANANDA KRISHNAN

 

             Adolescence 10 to 19 years is a unique and formative time. Many physical, emotional and social changes, including exposure to poverty, abuse, or violence, can make adolescents vulnerable to mental health problems. Promoting psychological well-being and protecting adolescents from adverse experiences and risk factors that may impact their potential to thrive are critical for their well-being during adolescence and for their physical and mental health in adulthood.

               Firstly, the most common mental health among youth is stress. Stress is one of the biggest and most important problems of this age because stress always affects our life in a negative way. In the past people had an easy life and they did not feel stress so much, but today their life is getting worse day by day because of stress. In my opinion, there are three main effects of being stressed on people’s psychology, work life and health. To overcome this problem we need to know how to handle stress because it helps us to improve ourselves in stress situations. It will be helpful for our future if we distract the negative vibration. Furthermore, we can learn how to fix our problems but before that we need to recognize what causes our stress. Patience is one of the main key to avoid stress and many other problems. It is important for us to find the root causes of our problems and start to fix before it become worse and effect our mental health.

              Communication could be a good tool to release out the stress. It is important for us to share our problems with someone rather than keep it to ourselves because sometimes we couldn’t hold it anymore, it is really tiring thus make us do a bad decision to release the stress. Family is like everything to do with love, compassion, and support. We may speak with our family members when we are stress because family members are closest people around us. Some might say family know us better than we know our self. So I think by sharing our worries with them it can ease our mind. A talk with family definitely will be helpful because it’s better to share our problems with a close person rather than taking a bad decision. We could do something that can release our stress especially when we were studying. We could take a break and maybe watch a variety show to makes us relax for a little while. Once you’ve identified the trigger acknowledged the cause of your added stress and formulated a plan to manage the situation, it’s time to move on. Don’t let the stress fester and multiply, and start a new cycle.

      A good mental health enable individual to handle day-to-day events and obstacles, work on their goals, and function effectively in society. Minor disturbances in mental health could with delay early intervention will not only a suffered to the individual but also a burden to their families and society considerably. The economic and personal costs of mental illness are also the major concerned in social and public health. Exercise was believed to enhance individual's ability to cope with and manage their mental disorder apart from its well documented physical health benefit. Improved quality of life is particularly important for individuals with severe and enduring mental health problems as exercise may alleviate depression, low self-esteem and social withdrawal. We can implement this solution through encouraging our family members to go for a park or lake for exercising. Exercising could help for the people to treat their depression and anxiety. Other than that, exercising can boost up the mood and produce feelings of happiness. An individual can also sign up for yoga or other type of fitness classes. Indulge in some staycation within the nature as nature can produce happy human, it also includes exercising with a nice view and nature brings calm to you. We may also can tell how important is exercising to the people whom undergoing mental health issue. Thus they will be aware and will go for exercising.

                 As mental illness starts from the early age, the school can implement sports day for the student to participate during their free time which encourage them to start living in healthy lifestyle and parents should make sure that they participate in the event. Advertise regarding importance exercising with colorful images where it may attract people to boost up the sport sense in their mind. Spreading awareness about important of exercise for mental and body health can help other people with mental issues to be more aware about body fitness. New generation kids should start exercising in their childhood so that they practice as the same when they grow up. Spreading awareness about important of exercise for mental and body health can help other people with mental issues to be more aware about the decision that they make. The knowledge should be spread from children to parents where it may cause changes.

               Sometimes in life, we as people get caught in situations that keep us from growing. We fight against ourselves to become better, but fear sets in to scare us. Also, our negative mindset keeps us from progressing in life. When dealing with negative thoughts understanding how to overcome them can be a big issue. Negativity can lead to things such as exhaustion, hunger, sleep deprivation, and even the common cold. Negative thoughts have shown to be a leading cause in suicidal deaths, as well as many cases of homicide and murder. Who would of ever believed that the negativity in your head could have such an outcome on your life. We are our own worst enemy in life and making our own judgments. So with this being said there isn’t just one-way of dealing with the negative thoughts. Depending on who you are or the type of person you are you can deal with this in many different ways. Personally my best way to get rid of my negative thoughts is to have an environment change. Changing your environment includes changing your location to changing the people around you. Seeing a different environment or different people can offer a change in the way we think. When we start our day off, we should say to ourselves, ‘’ it’s going to be a great day today’’. Thinking like this everyday would help us to stay positive and keep us motivated. Also, thinking like this gives a better outlook on life and helps you to put more effort towards you goal. This also, helps us to strive for excellence and it helps you to block out negative thoughts. Once we get to that point, our positive mindset helps us avoid negative people. Having a positive image helps us draw to positive people. We can smile all the day just to get positive vibration. We need to use less social media as it can bring the negativity to us that would affect or mental health. When you have a really hard time, take a break from the social media and focus in yourself more. Also thinking positively can reduce the likelihood of health conditions, like depression, hypertension, and a variety of other stress-related disorders. It’s normal for negative thoughts to present themselves every now and then. We should be ready to face everything since our life is like full of ups and downs. We actually need to realize that life is not perfect, so live your life at the fullest and love yourself more. Whatever it takes, life has to go on so let’s face it positively. Ignore the negativity and spread the positivity.

               Finally, we must know how to fix the problems by checking and identifying our mental health problems by ourselves because we know ourselves better than the others. If problems continue or you are thinking about suicide, talk to a psychologists or professional counselor as they are experienced. The next thing is after we know what causes our stress, we should start planning the solution on how to deal with each if the problem one by one. In detail, we need to identify the cause of stress because the most dangerous thing about stress is how easily it can creep up on you. You get used to it. It starts to feel familiar, even normal. You don’t notice how much it’s affecting you. So we need to overcome stress to live a normal life. To be sure, we need to find causes of stress because and then only we can find the solution as soon as possible to just get rid of it. We need to check and identify our mental health problems by ourselves because we know ourselves better than the others. Besides that, having a conversation with a close person such as family and friends will be very helpful. This is important because no one can keep their problems inside them for a longer period. As longer time they keep the problem would be very deep. Thus having conversations will make us feel better. We need to find someone who is willing to listen our story and help us or give a proper guidance for the survival of life. Sometimes you just need to let out how you’re feeling with no real plan for a solution. You just want someone to listen and its actually help us to feel that they are there for you. Good listeners will able to hear our problems and they might give us solutions for our problem. Conversations can solve and give answers for many problems. Life is full of ups and downs. We need to balance it to live happily, share the love and kindness save others.
