Introduction:

Mental health holds equal importance as physical health. But unfortunately, our methodology towards living a life is very pathetic, which results in ignoring one’s mental health completely. In today’s fast-paced world, where stress levels are high and societal pressures are ever-present, mental health awareness has become more crucial than ever before. Understanding and acknowledging the importance of mental health can lead to healthier individuals, stronger communities, and a more compassionate society overall.

Root causes:

People suffering from poor mental health can be due to several reasons, including past tragic events, loss of a loved one, failure in achieving their ambitions, and social pressure which further includes inflation, joblessness, and poverty. All these reasons combine and act like a virus. This virus stimulates the frustration and anxiety levels in an individual.

Consequences:

The person suffering from anxiety will always have strange behavior. He/she will get pumped very easily on small issues, and act furiously which results in harming the relations. Moreover, that person will be unable to focus on his work properly. He will possess poor productivity, leading to below-average performance of the respective person. This poor performance will reflect his skills and no one will hire him for their work.

Apart from this, if that person is a businessman, still his poor mental health is enough to ruin his business. Now you can visualize how this particular chain is developed, leading to the series of events that trigger the person and affect his mental health very badly. Besides this, continuous stress and anxiety may lead to hypertension, breathing problems, and weight loss.
