In 1992, the World Federation of Mental Illnesses declared October 10 as World Mental Illness Day. More than 150 countries in the world have been celebrating this date for 27 years. In fact, the purpose of this celebration is to change people's perspective on mental illnesses. To raise awareness about the psychological disorders people experience. Many of you have heard or seen people with psychological disorders being made fun of. The reason why we, as experts working in the field of mental health, care about October 10 is to change this perspective and ensure that people can get professional help. As a matter of fact, nowadays people seem to have come a long way in terms of seeking professional help. Despite this, many people cannot understand how important psychological health is in our lives.
Burnout, which you define as the inability to enjoy life today, has an important place in the psychology literature. This situation stems from the fact that the psychological problems experienced are not resolved. There may be many reasons for not wanting to deal with psychological distress. Some of these reasons are "What will our environment say?", "I don't believe in mental health", "Man is his own psychologist." There may be thoughts like these.
Please pay attention to the issues I will list now. If you show these symptoms and feel bad because of this, please do not hesitate to seek professional help.
Change in Sleeping or Eating Pattern
Even though you have not made any significant changes in your life, observing changes in your eating or sleeping patterns may be a sign of a psychological disorder. Studies indicate that these symptoms include insomnia, deterioration in sleep quality, eating too much or eating too little. We must underline that our sleeping and eating patterns are very important not only for our physical health but also for our mental health. When you don't get enough sleep, you may become more unproductive, anxious, stressed and impulsive. In addition, unhealthy eating habits can make you feel less energetic, decrease your self-esteem, and lead to depression.
Variable Emotion D Condition
Another thing that indicates that your psychological health is poor is your constantly and rapidly changing emotional state. If you feel very angry over even the slightest disagreement, your brain may be telling you to check your psychological health. This may result from emotional wear and tear. This symptom indicates that you need to get help as soon as possible. As you postpone your psychological distress, your brain will not be able to function normally and will have difficulty regulating your emotions over time. That's why you may constantly find yourself stressed, unmotivated and overwhelmed. Some people who have difficulty regulating their emotions may even experience high anxiety and panic attacks.
Feeling Detached from Everything
If you feel more distant from people you are normally close to, psychological Your health may be deteriorating. You may no longer have interest in the things you previously enjoyed. However, if you feel this way about many issues and do not know the reason for this situation and its solution, please do not hesitate to seek psychological help. You need to pay particular attention to signs of social withdrawal, social isolation, and numbness. Because in this case, since you distance yourself from other people, you are the only person who can help you and ask for help in this regard. If you do not seek this help, it may reflect on you as chronic loneliness, feeling empty and hopeless. These situations will also affect you in the long run.
Feeling Down Most of the Time
You may feel depressed for a long time. You may even be unable to enjoy almost anything. If you feel like this, you may need a check-up regarding your psychological health. People with depressive symptoms may display apathetic and fed up attitudes in the face of a threat.
Decrease in Concentration
You may have difficulty focusing on something and completing an easy task. If it has become more difficult than usual for you to focus on something, if you have trouble reviewing information, have trouble analyzing the problem, or have trouble verbalizing your thoughts If you are tired, we can say that you are in a long-term psychological depression.
Today's communication and working environment may lead you to ignore the deterioration of your psychological health. Living with awareness about your psychological health can improve your quality of life. It might even save your life.
Please do not diagnose yourself or anyone else based on what I have told you. If you show these symptoms, please do not hesitate to consult a licensed psychologist.
