WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH?

Mental health refers to our behavioral, cognitive, and emotional well-being, its the way we think, feel and behave. The term "mental health" is sometimes used in reference to the absence of mental disorder.

Mental health can exert influence on relationships, daily life, and even physical health. Mental health also includes the ability of a person to enjoy the activities of life - to achieve a balance between life activities and attempts to achieve psychological flexibility.

RISK FACTORS OF MENTAL HEALTH

Experts say that we all have the ability to develop mental health problems, whatever your age, whether you are men or women, are rich or poor, or which ethnic group you belong to.

Each year almost one of the five Americans suffer from a mental health problem (18.5%). In the United States, in 2015, about 9.8 million adults (over 18 years old) had serious psychiatric disorders. This is equivalent to 4.8% of all American adults.

"A study conducted by the World Health Organization in 2015 shows that one in five people in India can experience depression during their lifetime, equivalent to 200 million people".

BIOLOGICAL FACTOR INVOLVED IN MENTAL ILLNESS

Some mental illnesses are associated with the abnormal functioning of nerve cell circuits or pathways that connect certain areas of the brain. Within these brain circuits, nerve cells communicate through chemicals called neurotransmitters.

HEREDITY (GENETICS)

Occasionally mental illnesses occur in families, which states that people who have a mental illness family, they may be more likely to develop. Sensitization spreads through families through genes. Experts believe many mental illnesses instead of one or more related abnormalities in several genes and interact with the way these genes environment, that everyone (even identical twins) Is unique. This is the reason that a person gets sensitivity to mental illness and does not necessarily develop the disease. Mental illness itself is caused by exposure to many genes and other factors like stress, violence or a painful event - which can affect or trigger illness in a person who is predefined for it.

Infection

 Some infections are linked to brain damage and mental illness development or deterioration in its symptoms. For example, a condition is known as the pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatic disorder (PANDA) associated with Streptococcus bacteria is associated with the development of the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other mental disorders in children.

Brain abnormalities or lesions

Some abnormalities or lesions of the brain are also linked to some mental illnesses.

Prenatal damage

Some evidence suggests that the development of fetal brain or disruption of trauma at birth - for example, loss of oxygen to the brain - may be a factor in the growth of certain conditions, such as -Autism Spectrum disorder.

Substance Abuse

 Especially the misuse of long-term substances is associated with anxiety, depression, and reflection.
