There is no Health without Mental Health, our mental health directly influences how we think, feel and act and affects our physical health.
The purpose of this information is to give you greater understanding of issues related to mental health.
Good mental health and well-being is not an on-off experience. We can all have days, weeks or months where we feel resilient, strong and optimistic, regardless of events or situations. Often that can be mixed with or shift to a very different set of thoughts, feelings and behaviors; or not feeling resilient and optimistic in just one or two areas of our life.
Pakistan accounts for 15 – 25 % of the global mental, neurological and substance abuse disorder burden and it has a significant impact on how we think, feel and act in many parts of our lives, including relationships, experiences at work, sense of connection to peer groups and our personal sense of worth, physical health and motivation. This could lead to us developing a mental health condition such as anxiety, depression, and substance misuse which are a leading cause of disability.
Persons with mental disorders are also known to be associated with a wide range of social and societal problems, if their illness is unrecognized or is inappropriately managed.
Mental health is a positive concept related to the social and emotional wellbeing of people and their families. The concept relates to the enjoyment of life, ability to cope with stress and sadness, the fulfilment of goals and potential, and a sense of connection to others. Mental health is about wellness rather than illness and is not merely the absence of a mental health condition. Like physical health, mental health is not fixed. Mental health exists on a continuum, or range: from positive, healthy functioning at one end through to severe symptoms of mental health conditions at the other.
