Mental health: Challenge yourself!

Lisätiedot

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
It’s important to remember that a person’s mental health can change over time, depending on many factors. When the demands placed on a person exceed their resources and coping abilities, their mental health could be impacted.
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, poor mental health and mental illness are not the same. A person can experience poor mental health and not be diagnosed with a mental illness. Likewise, a person diagnosed with a mental illness can experience periods of physical, mental, and social well-being. (source)

In this playlist, we will take a closer look to the topic of mental health. It will not help you with a daignose for mental illness or replace a therapy. The main focus of this content is based on mental well-being and how to take care of yourself.

Mental health is a positive concept related to the social and emotional wellbeing of individuals and communities.
Having good mental health, or being mentally healthy, is more than just the absence of illness, rather it’s a state of overall wellbeing.

The concept is influenced by culture, but it generally relates to:
  • Enjoyment of life
  • Having the ability to cope with and ‘bounce back’ from stress and sadness
  • Being able to set and fulfil goals
  • Having the capability to build and maintain relationships with others.

Influences on mental health and wellbeing
Mental health is influenced by several biological, psychological, social and environmental factors which interact in complex ways. These include:
  • Structural factors such as safe living environments, employment, education, freedom from discrimination and violence, and access to economic resources
  • Community factors such as a positive sense of belonging, community connectedness, activities to highlight and embrace diversity, social support, and participation in society
  • Individual factors such as the ability to manage thoughts and cope with stressors and having communication and social skills to support connection with others. (source)https://www.cdc.gov/mentalhealth/learn/index.htm

Looking at these factors, which ones have the most impact on your mental health (in a positive or negative way)?

The OECD Better Life Index "2020 How's Life?" report shows the latest data on well-being from an updated set of over 80 indicators for OECD countries and 4 partner countries. It looks at current well-being outcomes, inequalities, and resources for future well-being. (source)
