Since less than half of all people with mental illness treatment! About half of mental disorders begin before the age of 14.
mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in America. Approx. 33,000 Americans commit suicide each year. Clinical depression affects only about 19 million Americans a year!
Some experts say that everyone has mental health problems at times.
Each year more than 250,000 people were admitted to psychiatric hospitals and more than 4,000 people commit suicide in the UK.
statistics for other countries too shocking !!
This is truly a pandemic.
Mental health is about how we think, feel and behave. According to the World Health Organization, mental health is "a state of prosperity which can cope with normal stresses of life and can work productively ... It's not just the absence of disease or illness ."
This is the psychological problems that are responsible for the majority of people who are more overweight, or who have low self-esteem or have problems with their relationships, or finances or career.
Why do we have these problems?
answer to that is ignorance. We said a lot about physical health, but most of us do not know how to be emotionally healthy. No one teaches us how our thoughts, feelings and beliefs affect every area of our lives.
In fact the biggest reason why people smoke or get drunk or binge eat, consume drugs or self-harm is caused by psychological problems, because most of us do not know how to deal with our negative thoughts and emotions.
