    Mental health is defined as a state of well-being that allows individuals to cope with stress and function productively. It is important at all ages from fetal development onwards. Early intervention for mental illness can improve diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes through referrals to specialist services. For children and adolescents in particular, early intervention is crucial to prevent long-term consequences on completing education, health, and relationships. Maintaining mindfulness of present thoughts and emotions without being overwhelmed is important for well-being, and seeking professional help for frequent negative thoughts is also recommended.

    WELLNESS Mental Health

    FOR A HEALTHY MIND


    Clinical psychologists emphasise the importance of mental health in day-to-day life,
    irrespective of age and gender.

    B eing in good mental health can be defined as the state of

    well-being in which every individual realises his own potential,


    can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to
    make a contribution to the community. Mental Health is stressed in WHO’s
    definition of health as: “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not
    merely the absence of diseases or infirmity.

    Early Detection Required


    Mental health begins from the foetal stage. Regrettably, we notice issues only when there is
    an aberration in the expected behaviour appropriate to the particular age; for instance, a
    child’s deviant behaviour and poor scholastic performance is blamed upon the lack of
    parenting skills.
    Prompt diagnosis and early intervention in the initial stages of a mental illness can have
    significant and life-changing consequences for a person’s mental health.
     Early intervention can lead to:
     improved diagnosis and treatment
     more timely and targeted referrals to specialist services
     improved confidence and engagement of primary care providers
    Early Intervention in children and young people
    Early intervention is particularly important for children and young people, for whom mental
    illness can have profound, long-term consequences.

    With children, early intervention can include the identification of infants or children with a
    higher risk of developing mental illness or severe behavioural and developmental
    disturbances.
    For adolescents, mental illness is a significant risk factor for not completing school and
    subsequent study, and for longer-term mental and physical health outcomes – as well as
    impacting on their families, friends and others around them.

    Seeking the positive


    Mindfulness is imperative for emotional well-being. A person who practices mindfulness is
    fully conscious about the present, is aware of her/his thoughts and is not overly reactive or
    overwhelmed by the situation at hand. Some people struggle with understanding what
    emotions they are experiencing.
    Frequent negative thoughts during or after failure, loss, separation, financial crisis, etc., need
    to be addressed professional.
