Emotional balance in the mental health

 

Mental health is an important component of peoples’ overall health, which revolves around the individual emotional well-being. Good mental health hygiene involves a dynamic process that consists of being confident to manage any challenging situation effectively. It in fact empowers individuals to make responsible choices, work productively, helps to realise their full potential, and provides meaningful contributions to the society while living their life at their fullest. Reasonable levels of stress, low mood, emotional tension triggering fears or anger, are healthy responses to particular events that allow individuals to recognize threats, find appropriate solutions, bridge the gap between discrepancies in opinions, and therefore establish and maintain satisfying social connections. 

This emotional balance is not always experienced among individuals. Unfortunately, sometimes people can feel totally defenseless against the racing thoughts that play in their minds. They may find themselves unable to deal with their uncontrollable fears or prevent escalation of their anger. These feelings can become so overwhelming that coping with day-to-day life, work, leisure, and relationships can be perceived as an over demanding task. Mental health problems can affect anyone at any age, regardless of their gender, social status, or financial situation. Additionally, they are also interspersed among population cross-culturally.
