The Dhaka Times Desk Mental health is a different matter. Mental health can be maintained by following some rules and taking care of the mind. So what are those rules?
Mental health is the basis of overall well-being of people. Mind is an integral part of human body. But the care of the mind remains behind us. Mental health care has been disrupted by the coronavirus for two years. Global unemployment, social isolation, house arrests, salary crunches due to Corona - all are mind boggling. Surveys are also being conducted on those issues by various organizations. The effects of Corona are still there, and the disruptions in daily life are wreaking havoc on mental health. In a busy life, let alone mind, there is no time to take care of the body. Pressure to meet workplace expectations, thinking about the future, personal life, doing things you don't like, lack of time, not getting enough sleep, not eating nutritious food, loss of self-confidence and excessive fatigue are some of the reasons for mental health disorders. The intractable problem of mental fatigue has more than one or two roots. Rather many. To take care of mental health, there are some rules to follow.
Minimize use of social media
Depression, loneliness, jealousy, anxiety can also arise due to constant use of social media i.e. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. Due to which the fear of dissatisfaction with life also remains. Being in contact with mobile phones all the time is affecting the mind. The range of thinking is also getting narrower. There is no choice but to bow to technology for work needs. Psychologists say in this regard, it is better to stay away from online media unless necessary. Technology use also causes sleep deprivation. So it is better not to use social media unless necessary.
Be honest with yourself
Honesty improves mental health. Always try to be honest about your work. You should also take care of your feelings. Always stick to your philosophy, ideals. Believing in yourself is very important. Never lose confidence in any adverse situation.
Learn to value yourself
Many times there is no time to take care of oneself while giving time to others or being busy with work. But the beginning of the mistake is here. Everything will be fine, if you are good. So first of all you have to be aware of yourself. Give importance to your likes and dislikes. One of the best ways to overcome anxiety and depression is to love yourself. Then you will see that no problem seems too serious to you.
Never hide emotional exhaustion
Mental health is never something to be neglected. If there is a cloud of anxiety in the corner of your mind, never hold it down. To whomever you tell or to whom you think you can be lightened, tell them without delay. If the problem is suppressed, it will continue to increase in volume. The gain will be nothing. If necessary, you can also take the help of a psychiatrist. But it will not be a wise thing to keep the pain in your mind and torment yourself little by little.
Take adequate rest
A monotonous life needs a break from time to time. In the fast-paced life, you have to pull the reins from time to time. Work will be there for the rest of your life, but giving your best requires some preparation. Whether you feel bad or not, come out when you have time. If necessary, take time out and visit somewhere. It is your responsibility to take care of your mind. So try to stay strong. Go as you wish. These will also cover the wounds of the mind little by little - will make the mind better. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
