We can divide health into two parts.
1. Mental health
2. Physical health
We get fever, cold, cough etc. We can include these in physical health. On the other hand, suppose you repeatedly fail the BCS exam. But you are not giving up. You are still studying harder for the BCS exam. The energy that you get from the mind is called mental energy . Your emotional energy , the more will be the better for your mental health. Improving mental health enables a person to take on a variety of life challenges. So we should all focus on mental health .
The main topics of our lectures today are mental health and prevention of mental illness .
There is a saying in English, Prevention is better than cure . That is, disease prevention is better than disease free. Because if you can prevent the disease, you can be saved from suffering. For example, if we go to a safe place before a cyclone strikes, the chances of damage are reduced by 90 percent. We follow a variety of hygiene rules to keep our physical health intact. In addition, we take precautionary measures such as vaccinations to protect against certain diseases. Such as spring vaccine, cholera or typhoid vaccine etc. In the case of mental health, preventive measures can also be taken. The main purpose of these preventive measures is to keep mental health intact.
Mental health should be taken care of only if it is a disease?
Mental health is not just about the absence of mental illness. There are also some positive aspects of mental health. Such as being able to develop the latent abilities of the person, attaining the fullness of personality, acquiring skills for the attainment of human welfare, etc. Aspects include sound mental health. In other words, mental health should not be considered only after the disease. You need mental fulfillment in every task. May each of you can do the job perfectly, at the mental health needs.
The concept of mental health originated in recent times. As a result, there is not enough information. Yet psychologists are constantly researching and experimenting. The current psychiatric prevention system has been developed based on the information that is being revealed as a result of their experiments .
The immune system can be divided into three stages. These are happening
1. The main resistance
2. Secondary prevention and
3. The third step is prevention
The main prevention: The measures taken to prevent the disease at all is called the main prevention.
Secondary resistance:
If the disease occurs, early detection and early treatment of the disease in a medical center is called secondary prevention. In this case, the advice and treatment of a psychologist should be taken.
Third step prevention:
If the secondary prevention fails, that is, if the disease takes a complex form, then the patient is sent to the hospital and the patient is rehabilitated quickly and his family is rehabilitated and the post-disease care is called third stage prevention.
Now we will know the details about each prevention measure. As if our ideas about mental health are fulfilled.
Main resistance:
The main resistance is again of three kinds. E.g.,
Biological resistance, psychosocial resistance, socio-cultural resistance.
These are highlighted below.
Biological resistance:
The future physical and mental health of a healthy and strong child depends on its birth. Families designed to give birth to a suitable child are important. That is, the first prevention measures begin with family planning. When will a couple have children, how many children will they have, how long will there be between children? These are very important issues. Do they have the mental preparation to have children? Do they have the skills, money and time to raise children? Only through family planning can these questions be answered correctly and problems related to them can be overcome.
Genetic counseling is important in this case . We know that genetic aberrations can cause a variety of physical and mental problems . So the couple can have their genes analyzed and if there is any defect, they can take the next steps as per the advice of the experts. Embryos and genes in the womb can be analyzed. Pregnant mothers need to take care of their nutritional health and mental health under the constant supervision of a doctor . The baby needs similar care after the baby is born. Maternal and child welfare certificates can play an important role in this regard. Malnutrition and weakness in prenatal and postnatal babies can lead to a variety of physical and mental health problems. Maternal and child care is needed to prevent this problem.
Psychosocial prevention:
Every person has to acquire some skills to deal with various problems in life and to maintain harmony in the society. Just as he needs to acquire physical skills to survive, he also needs to develop intellectually to solve various problems and acquire useful social roles and skills. Therefore, it is necessary to create the necessary environment keeping in view the full development of physical, intellectual, emotional and social skills in the child.
The second is to develop appropriate attitudes in the child. Misconceptions and misconceptions can lead to a variety of psychological problems . Therefore, it is necessary to create an education system and an ancillary environment for a child to develop a meaningful outlook on life that is consistent with the real environment and society. It is necessary to prepare mentally in advance about the problems that a person faces at different stages of life. Problems such as marital and marital life, occupation and compatibility with the profession, new adaptations of conception and childbirth, middle age and old age create a lot of stress for a person. If you have mental preparation in advance about this, the person will be able to overcome these problems easily. That is, the development of the person's mental health will occur.
The purpose of every human society is to provide security for every person in that society. In addition, to provide equal opportunities for the development of each person's ability and talent. But while it is true, it is a matter of regret that in most cases this purpose of society does not materialize. The people of the society are divided into races, religions and ideologies, into groups, into groups and sub-groups. This created a minority and a majority party. The majority party puts pressure on the minority party. In addition, almost every society has some ruling and exploiting groups who exploit others.
If any restrictions of the society create pressure or problems on any part of the population of the society, then the main objective of the social and cultural prevention system is to build it through reforms.
Of course, such social change is quite difficult. Such a change requires long-term effort. For example, American Negroes have equal rights. They have established their equal rights as a result of long-term efforts. Mental health workers, ie psychologists, can play an important role in creating such social movements . The psychologist compromised individuals may come forward and help them with their needs mental health counseling to relieve the pressure.
So far we have discussed the main resistance. Next we will discuss secondary prevention and third stage prevention. There is no substitute for raising awareness for mental health development. When we are aware from the beginning, it is easier to cure various mental illnesses and our mental health improves. Today's article is in the hope that we will look at mental health properly and consciously.
