We have heard about Mental Health and its Importance In our life in one way or another.
I wanted to remind you about the basic things.
🧠What is mental health?
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. This means it affects how we feel, think and act. It also determine how we handle stress, in relate to others, and how we make choices. If someone have any abnormality in what is mentioned above, they should ask for help because this means we are not mentally healthy.
For example if I have a problem of over-reacting to every little thing that happens to me and if I don't know how to control my emotions, it could be one thing that indicates I need help. Yes, this may sound a simple case and it could happen to most of us but if it happens repeatedly we should be aware that it is Not Healthy.
🧠Why is mental health Important?
I think the answer to this question is clear if we know what mental health is. As we have seen, our mental health determines:
1. How we feel ~ A mentally ill person may have imbalance in their feelings, some feel too much compared to what they are experiencing and others don't feel anything. Both of these people are a threat to themselves and to the whole society.
2. How we think~if we are not mentally healthy we can't think in the right way, no matter in what great condition our physical health is. So when we see people who are slow to understand, incapable of choosing the right thing and do not know how to make the right decision, instead of judging them let us be aware of what they are going through. We might be able to help.
3. How we act~ This could be how we treat ourselves and the people around us. We see people hurting themselves or others for reasons we consider "silly" but it is not silly to them. Their mind views their problem in a different way than what it truly is, and lead them to make decisions that seems nonsense to the other person.
🧠 It is obvious that we face this problems in our country a lot. Especially nowadays, we see people fighting for what is unworthy to the point of killing each other. Before we go to a conclusion or give our opinion saying " This tribe is evil and this one is not educated", let us consider that this people may not be mentally healthy. Whatever they had experienced in their past life may had made them to become the person they are today.
🧠These is how important mental health is. We must take mental health seriously because mental illness won't only destroy us but will also destroy everyone around us. If we understand why we act the way we act? It will be easier to find a solution for our problems.
🧠Please let us educate ourselves more on what concerns our mental health, even if we are healthy lots of our friends are not, and they absolutely need our help. If anyone here feels they need help then please ask for help its not something to be ashamed of at all. We all get sick at some point in our life, that doesn't mean we deserve it. We should get the right treatment to be healthy again.

"These findings are exciting because they show that even relatively small amounts of exercise -- from one hour per week -- can deliver significant protection against depression.
"We are still trying to determine exactly why exercise can have this protective effect, but we believe it is from the combined impact of the various physical and social benefits of physical activity.
"These results highlight the great potential to integrate exercise into individual mental health plans and broader public health campaigns. If we can find ways to increase the population's level of physical activity even by a small amount, then this is likely to bring substantial physical and mental health benefits."...

PEACE FOR OUR COUNTRY
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love? (Love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? The love, the love?
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, and swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

Due to the current scenario in our country we feel urged to bring the elephant in the room to light and discuss about the mental and emotional impacts it have right now and would have after it "ends". Therefore we will be presenting some data, facts and research findings about 'war and mental health'.
If you want to read more we will always be leaving the source and the link to it.
Stay safe.

Excerpt from 'Mental health consequences of war: a brief review of research findings'
Among the consequences of war, the impact on the mental health of the civilian population is one of the most significant. Studies of the general population show a definite increase in the incidence and prevalence of mental disorders. Women are more affected than men. Other vulnerable groups are children, the elderly and the disabled.
.
.
.
War has a catastrophic effect on the health and well being of nations. Studies have shown that conflict situations cause more mortality and disability than any major disease. War destroys communities and families and often disrupts the development of the social and economic fabric of nations. The effects of war include long-term physical and psychological harm to children and adults, as well as reduction in material and human capital. Death as a result of wars is simply the "tip of the iceberg". Other consequences, besides death, are not well documented. They include endemic poverty, malnutrition, disability, economic/ social decline and psychosocial illness, to mention only a few.
.
.
.
The WHO estimated that, in the situations of armed conflicts throughout the world, "10% of the people who experience traumatic events will have serious mental health problems and another 10% will develop behavior that will hinder their ability to function effectively. The most common conditions are depression, anxiety and psychosomatic problems such as insomnia, or back and stomach aches"

Forwarded from The Coffee Talk Table (Chuchu Sata)
Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say "My tooth is aching" than to say "My heart is broken."

A late Good Morning but we have something to make it up for it. We would like to share with you a piece we found so interesting and touching.

Hello there,
I hope your day is going good. Let me share something from my day. So I was on my way home and I couldn't find any taxi, the sun was also playing it's role by being a little too dramatic and burning a hole through my skin. Then I decided to take the bus, I got in and sat next to a man (age close to his late 40s) as I assumed. I'm not comfortable with starting random conversations with strangers cause you know, social anxiety things. But did this man care? No. He just started making simple conversations and I played along easing up bits by bits. Then he started talking about determination, hope and courage. I was like okay? Why are we talking about this. But I figured he was just trying to coach me as a father, I smiled at that and continued listening. When I tell you the wisdom of this man was heavily enthralling.
I don't like interrupting people while they talk so I was just listening to him. My silence didn't seem to bother him he just continued talking and talking and suddenly started asking me questions, I tried answering each of them as honestly as I could. There was a brief moment of silence after my answers and then he told me he lost his child not longer than two months ago with tears simmering in his eyes. Don't you have moments where you literally can't utter two syllables? Yeah I was in that exact same situation. But I didn't want to show that, I swallowed my own tears and continued listening. He told me about how handsome of a man his son was, how humble and so caring. I didn't miss the love shining through his orbs. My heart still aching I continued listening then I found out he lost him to suicide. I honestly don't know how it is even possible to have enough courage to talk about a deeply cut fresh wound. I still said nothing, he was sobbing and shaking so hard I didn't know what to do. I'm not talking about a teenager or someone who has lived life amateurishly but a man with three kids. I waited, he cooled down a bit and proceeded with the story.
About how his son got into depression, about the medical treatments and the like. Of all the things he said this struck me so deep " I knew he was sick, I knew he wasn't doing okay but I never thought he'd leave us like that". This was the only moment I saw him hurt because he left him. All along he kept on saying "He had so much to give, the world needed him, he had so much to live for". Yes, I was still listening because I felt like he had so much to drop off his chest and I was the perfect stranger. As his destination was nearing he tried to conclude the point of why he broke down like that, here's what he'd said:

"Right before few minutes of his death I was out in a Café waiting to meet up with a friend, my friend was late so I took out my phone with the thought of calling my son but I said I'd do it later. I always ask myself if I had called, would something have changed? Would he still be alive? Not calling at that moment will be the greatest regret of my entire life. But I know what was meant to happen has happened and I don't want to get myself in a fight with God asking him why he did what he did. Whether pleasant or not I can't change anything about it. So what I advise you is to fight as much as you can, have faith in God but none other and never give up. I wish I'd told my son this but it is for a reason I met you and I'm passing this message to you."
I thanked him, told him that I'd pray for him and his family. Like I said I didn't know what to say but it wasn't me who needed ears to listen.
If you came all this way please be patient and read this; I know what living in depression feels like believe me, I know what anxiety and panic attacks are like, I know what over thinking and crying yourself to sleep is like, I know how the voices in your head have the power of deafening you. I'm not saying this to beautify my words but because if you're going through these, I feel for you and I understand. You have so much to give, so much to live for, laughs you haven't laughed yet, tears of joy you haven't shed yet and falling and rising ups you haven’t seen yet so please stay you’re loved and treasured more than you could possibly know.

Too any one who is still up crying themselves, contemplating, pondering thoughts, void mind, suicidal thoughts and broken hearts. This is just a bad day or days but life, life is eternal. Your life is not bad. Sleep well the sun will shine tomorrow.
