Mental health problems are becoming serious in our country. The most worrying thing is that depression and anxiety are increasing among the youth. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 3.8 percent of the world's population suffers from stress, including 5 percent of adults (4 percent of men and 6 percent of women) and 5.7 percent of adults over the age of 60. Worldwide, more than 10 percent of pregnant women and women who have just given birth suffer from stress. Every year more than 7 lakh people die due to suicide. Sadly, suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among people aged 15-29. Although effective treatments for mental health exist, more than 75 percent of people in low- and middle-income countries do not receive adequate treatment.
influence of social media
A large part of India's population is youth and the present and future of the country depends on it. It is becoming increasingly challenging for young people to keep up with the increasing pressures from school to work. Social media, online activities and proliferation of information have complicated the situation. The issue of mental health is no longer limited to the individual only. Considering its widespread impact, there is a need to take concrete steps. First, the root causes of the problem must be identified and investigated. Experts believe that the influence of social media has become a major factor in mental health disorders. Many people may feel inferior after seeing the lifestyle of others. Cyber crime, trolling, unwanted information can be emotionally harmful. Social media addiction harms daily discipline. The young generation is struggling due to competition and lack of options in the field of education and employment. A large number of students are busy living away from their homes and families with limited resources to fulfill their dreams of good education and employment.
symptoms
A person suffering from stress feels sad, irritable and empty. They may experience a lack of enjoyment or interest in activities. Apart from this, lack of concentration, disappointment about oneself, thoughts of death or suicide, sleep disturbance, change in appetite or weight, extreme fatigue or lack of energy can also be symptoms of stress.
treatment and prevention
Although the provision of mental health counseling and support is increasing, it is still not universally available. Whether the problem is physical or mental, if it is detected in time and the process of seeking counseling is started then the solution becomes easy. Many studies have found that even after realizing the problem, people are reluctant to seek medical help or psychological counseling. The main reason for this is social prejudice. There is a need to get rid of this. Youth should not hesitate in asking for help. If a person feels that he is getting stressed then the most important thing is to share his problems with others. Try to continue activities you used to enjoy. Stay connected with friends and family.
seek expert advice
Exercise regularly, even if it's just a short walk. Stick to regular eating and sleeping habits as much as possible. Avoid or reduce alcohol and do not use illegal drugs, which can worsen depression. Talk about your feelings with someone you trust and seek the advice of a health professional. Remember that you are not alone, many people have gone through this difficult situation. Find all that is positive in life and be proud of it. If we see someone around us suffering from stress, then help him and help him come out of the stressful situation. Don't keep stress in life, always give place to happiness. ,
