Importance of mental health

 

Mental health is something that has been normal for the people and most of the people didn't gave importance to it during the time, but in the last year is something that is growing more and more everyday in the society. This problem could affect the people a lot but most of them didn't know or think that have mental problem, this problem we could say is very difficult to understand because everyone feel it and deal with it in different ways. If this doesn't have the important that should have, it could cause a lot of very big problem or the people could live with it their whole live. 

According to some studies the mental health issues have increase a lot and because of the quarantine that people is living increase the reason of what the people start suffering some mental problem, the most common reasons is that people are living always in the same space and their daily live doesn't have much changes because they are always at home and must work at home, live at home and everything at home. The most common mental issue that is development in the people are depression and anxiety, this two are one of the most important mental problem which have to take care because it could say that is the start to other problems. If people doesn't take care they normally start suffering from feeding issues, sleeping issues,  problem in focus with normal tasks, problem with motivation, start affecting also their normal health. 

The quarantine also mix this mental health with the worries of the people creating new reasons like suffering a lot of stress because they all the time thinking in what would happen if they or some familiar member get infected with the COVID 19. Living with this constantly fear is not good for people because this affect a lot their normal life and they of how they do everything. 

Some other think that must take in count is how the people deal with all of this mental problem because there are cases in which people start with some behaviors that could turn into addiction, for example some medicaments, alcohol or  tabaco. 

In my personal experience i think that i have felt some changes in my mental health, i have been in a small way but i think that it have affect like my motivation. I am normally a really motivated person and i like a lot doing thing like go to the university, meet with my friend and just do some things outside. But with this situation i have suffer a lot because i have to stay at home and at the beginning i didn't have problem but then i started noticing that i couldn't find motivation for the study, now i have a lot of problem focusing for more than 20 minutes in my virtual classes. 

For me i didnt care the mental health in the past but after this i think that i would take in count more that is something really important in peoples life and it could affect a lot.
