A Poem on Mental Illness

I am getting stressed

I am getting so obsessed

I don't know what to do

Because there is something always blue..

I think I am not prepared

And I am so very scared

I feel like never getting up from my bed

When I close my eyes, I could see the dread...

I think there are constant voices in my mind

To erase my memories to make me blind

I want the dementor in me to end

And I need a new person to be my friend ..

I want the river in my heart to flow

In that direction, where I'll always glow

I want my anxiety to soon fade

And a beautiful smile to be my aid...

I will try to finally start over

Something new & something bolder

I will try to treat my own illness

With all the world's beautiful happiness...

What is Mental Health ?

Imagine, you have everything in your life that you wanted- a lot of money, good friends, big house, good family... but somewhere you are depressed... something deep down in you is haunting your happiness. Can you call such a life a perfectly happy life? Not really! Because, unless you manage to uproot the factor which is pushing you into the abyss of depression and destroying the balance between your mental health, emotional and spiritual well being, you will not really be happy? Mental Health is one of the most important factors that define a happy life.

What really is Mental Health?

Is there any definition by the books that you can follow?

Not really.

The book definitions say that mental health encompasses social, psychological and emotional well being. That’s true but there is yet another factor-spiritual well being which is equally important for good mental health. All these factors eventually affect how we think, what we believe, what we feel and of course, how we act.

On a daily basis, there are a number of things we do. We communicate with others, we work and handle stress and we make decisions. How we do these depends on how well balanced our mental health is. Mental health is not limited to adults only. Everyone from a child to an old person- needs to maintain a proper mental health of every stage of life, be it childhood, adolescence or adulthood.

Mental illnesses can affect anyone. The key to curing is caring and understanding. Coping with such people who suffer from mental disorders is not an easy task and it requires proper understanding of the options available to deal with people suffering from such problems to clinical treatments and medical interventions are also there but they are used only when necessary.

World Mental Health Day is the perfect stage for gathering information and knowledge for a good mental health.

Remember! That mental health of anyone can be disturbed and there can be numerous reasons for that. It can be your loved one, or the other person sitting next to you who might get educated and help those who need it.
