Mental health has a significant impact on many aspects of women's lives. Relationships,
self-esteem, productivity at work, and even physical health may be impacted.
According to research, there may be a link between certain mental health conditions
and physical conditions like heart disease and digestive problems.
Clinical depression is a severe mental health disorder that affects many people.
According to Google, there are more than 10 million cases of clinical depression each
year in India. And in women, regardless of their age difference, teenage girls
experience issues with their appearance that may develop into unhealthy obsessions
with weight and appearance and result in psychological eating disorders like bulimia.
Pregnant women also experience pre and post-natal depression. And menopausal
women over 50 may experience mental health problems as a result.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, women and men can experience the majority of the same mental disorders and conditions but may exhibit different symptoms. Several signs include:
● Misuse of alcohol and/or drugs
● Dramatic changes in eating or sleeping habits
● Appetite and/or weight changes
● Decreased energy or fatigue
● Excessive fear or worry
● Seeing or hearing things that are not there
● Extremely high and low moods
● Aches, headaches, or digestive problems without a clear cause
● Irritability
● Social withdrawal
● Suicidal thoughts
Orlandohealth.com provides the five recommendations below to help you feel
better mentally:
● Get at least 15 minutes of sunshine daily, which is shown to boost vitamin D
and elevate your mood.
● Spend half an hour in nature whenever you can. Whether on a park trail, a
riverway, or the beach, nature boosts well-being.
● Take a short trip, exploring what's in your local area. Experiencing a change of
scenery can provide much-needed stimulation and reduce anxiety.
● Unplug from devices. Turning off and/or leaving behind your smartphone, tablet, and laptop halts messages' constant flow and interruption and can bring
relaxation and real-life reconnection.
According to montarebehavioralhealth.com, there are three different types of
treatment for women's mental health,
● Inpatient Mental Health Treatment
● Outpatient Mental Health Treatment
● After-Care Mental Health Treatment
Inpatient Mental Health Treatment:
● When a patient needs help and is unable to process the outside world, inpatient
treatment is provided. This occurs when they check themselves into the facility
to recover. Where the expert offers them the necessary counseling and
treatment to aid in their recovery from the trauma and aid in battling their
demons.
Outpatient Mental Health Treatment:
● When a woman can't escape her responsibilities but still needs professional
assistance for a mental health condition, this treatment is available. Most
patients are engaged in employment, education or are bound by obligations
that they cannot release.
After-Care Mental Health Treatment:
● Even after receiving the necessary treatment, they still require assistance or
support from the specialist; this assistance may not be as frequent as the first
two treatments, but sporadic counseling is beneficial and is where after-care
treatment comes into play.
Today's world demands that you maintain your emotional stability, making mental
health education essential and erasing its stigma necessary. And since today's women
have so much on their plates, finding an outlet by seeing a specialist might be helpful. If
we see a loved one in need, we should be the ones to suggest that they seek assistance
or take steps to do so. When you need to confide your feelings, we at Project C can be
