Mental Health

I’m creating this blog for people that are suffering from mental illness 57.8 million people are suffering from mental illnesses in the world.

Hey, I choose to write about mental health because I feel like mental health isn’t being talked about in our daily lives enough mental health was also the reason why my mother passed away with mental health conditions you wouldn’t even know someone is going through mental illness until it’s too late so it’s best to know the signs of someone with mental health issues. Those signs are clinical depression when someone feels very sad and has a loss of interest also it can changes your sleep schedule appetite, and energy level the second sign of mental health illness is anxiety disorder stressing out of proportion also bipolar disorder having reduced need for sleep low energy not enough motivation also having mood swings. Dementia is short memory loss, staring out of space. These are all the signs to find in a person who has mental health issues I never found out my mother had mental health issues until it was too late because I never knew what mental illness was all the signs were there like low energy level, sleeping all the time, not having interest in any activities, mood swings, but I was only 15 years old and in school they never touch topic on mental health I wish they did I feel like it could have saved so many lives. And did you guys know that about 8 million of our people die each year due to mental illness which is about 14.3% of deaths worldwide also did you know people with mental health issues have a higher chance of death than the general population? In 2022, more than 49,000 in our community died by committing suicide in the United States, which is about one death every 11 minutes. Also we didn’t talk about mental health illness just don’t make only people lose their lives by suicide some people use drugs to try to cope with the illness studies have said that people with mental health disorders may use drugs or alcohol as self-medication however, some drugs will temporarily help people with some symptoms of mental health disorders but it makes the symptoms more severe over the years. I would love for mental health illness to be a bigger discussion in our community because we are losing all our people in different age groups all because many people don’t know about mental illness or how it has a big impact on our lives and how to help someone that is dealing with mental health issues. I also feel like schools should be require to have mental health education and services to teach our young generation on the steps to take if they feel like a family member or friend is going through mental illness or if they are going through it just so they would know they not going through this by themselves other people are going through the same situation and to always know they not alone also teach them steps on how to cope with mental health issues without taking they life’s or trying to cope with drugs or alcohol and I feel like schools really don’t take time to see why kids act the way they do they always just assume the child is bad and should be kicked out instead of looking more into a child mental health and having a deep conversation with that child because mental illness isn’t just being depressed or bipolar people with mental illness have a real difficult time controlling impulses and managing they emotions and people who is untreated mental illness is more likely to commit serious crimes in our community like homicide also people that have mental illness use they illness as an excuse to avoid accountability but some day I would love to see a change in the world for people with mental health issues it’s very hard on them also their love ones when it could be a big easy change in our society by just speaking more about mental health issues and how to help people with mental health issues get help and also cope better in they daily life’s because I wish me and my family would have had this type of help.
