Mental health is the most important thing for a human being because a persons life can get destroyed or built depending on what mental status he is up to.

Mental health issues were not a big problem a few decades back or so. But with advancing times these issues are increasing at a constant pace.

Today their are mental health issues with a child , an aged person as well as young people. And there are complex illness coming into the scenario these days. These diseases have complex names which we can hardly pronounce. So as life is becoming easier with advancing technologies, how is that we are becoming mentally unstable??

What could be the possible reason for such kind of mental diseases occurring to every age group nowadays.???? I would like to cite some examples and try to reflect on this issue , through this blog.

Case 1

People are very lonely these days. One of my friend was discussing with me. She has got a little kid  whose age is 3 years. My friend was worried because the child is still not getting friendly with others. Throughout the lockdown my friend and her husband has been doing work from home and the creche was closed, so the kid had to be with his parents. The child was comfortable with his friends in the creche but in the lockdown he was made to watch the cartoon day in and day out and  the parents had little time to take the child to the playground. As a result the child is speaking very very less and he doesn't like to be at any other place, other than his own house. So the problem that my friend is facing is that, the child is not speaking at all, most of the time he is sleeping…!! A 3 years old child is not getting his friends and the ideal social condition for his growth, that's what is creating a gap in his communication skills. He is getting bored watching cartoons. A child of his age needs to play in the nature and get to do activities. He needs his age group kids to interact but he is not getting that facility. So he is not all interested to interact with anyone. We don't like to be with our parents always, do we?? We need our world and friends and activities… So the same thing is happening with this child and this can create a serious mental issue with passing days. 

Case 2

This is about a young girl who is well settled with her job life and earning a good package . But she is facing mental health issues. Her parents talked to the girl and also requested her to get married a few months back. But the girl doesn't want to get married, and she is not having a single friend apart from her office colleagues. These colleagues hardly show any interest to her personal life which is very normal. Lately, this girl have been facing a problem of loosing self confidence. She is earning well  and can get settled in her personal life. But she is facing issues mentally. She cant explain why she cant sleep in night. She has got a terrible insomnia and nothing gives her any joy in life. This girl was observed by her parents and she was taken to a Psychiatrist, where she expressed her feelings. That is where her parents got to know about the depression faced by the girl.  She told that she cannot actually understand what she wants from life…!! but she is not happy with her life. 

She was prescribed to go to a counselling session and some medication by the doctor…which I have heard..

But my question is  why this kind of issues coming, when you have job, you have near ones, you can go for settling down.  Why this kind of problems are increasing with passing days…

Situations and society is changing at a random pace. People who can get acclimatized with the changing situations are not having much problem but how many of us are getting to do that successfully??

Most of us are having issues of depression, fear psychosis, Insomnia, and so many other diseases which are becoming so common.

 Its high time to focus on our mental health and take care of our mind as we take care of our body. 

If we are not careful about our mind, we cannot anymore leave it on the society. Because in todays society nobody has a second for anyone.   People are self centered these days so we really need to take good care of our mental health.
