Today more and more people about psychology, therapy and mental health seem to speak. This year, the media has been extra generous in his description of mental health problems. We
had several soap opera storylines and docudramas detailing the lives
of the rich and bipolar as well as a host of celebrities 'meltdown'. The layman enjoys a thorough tour of mental health problems, from the comfort of his front room. Or is he?
Anyone can experience mental illness-from the famous to the less than famous, and if it's on the TV must be ok. Because the ads would have us believe that elephant in the room has been well and truly exposed, with familiar faces around the world to confess admission to a mental health issue or with medication for the difficulties.
With all this in hand, one might think that a girl over the city of the world today would be more convenient than ever before in sharing their own challenges. After all, Ms. Wax, and makes many thousands in the West End to do. So what does the research say?
As you reflect on these changes in media coverage over the last 18 months, you will have to learn not so pleasantly surprised that according to a study by activists on the platform 51, A 3 Women taking anti-depressants in their lives. Of these, take a quarter of it for 10 years or more. And most worrying, 18% consider it a secret from their families. One in ten would not even say a partner.
Alternatively, I noticed that niche holistic approaches to mental health were increasingly seen as more acceptable. Twining even with the wellness concept as a marketing tool to sell tea bags! * After all, it seems more to see du jour, an executive coach, as a psychologist opposite. And when you are in health care, it is more acceptable to have a psychologist than a psychiatrist. What is the perceived difference in terminology and why these different treatments using medication prescribed routinely attached so despite this stigma?
Why is it that young women are reluctant to use such medications should be discussed with mental health problems? After all, sales of antidepressants rose to 45% in the last 4 years. That's 23 million prescriptions for antidepressants in the year.
Today's culture is increasingly driven by ambition and success to admit is feeling low, stressed or anxious simply not a desirable option. One could conclude that it socially have acceptable for a celebrity, a public breakdown or overdose is forgiven, but to admit for the average woman in the world in search of your life, a little to admit stressful or God forbid, that you just not coping is simply too much to bear social pressure.
Asked a recent survey by the Alliance depression suggests that women often feel ashamed to report mental health concerns to discuss with friends and family, out of fear of being judged, misunderstood or labeled. It has been reported that young people in today's success-oriented society, often a sense of failure when receiving anti-depressants, almost a last scenario, if you can not imagine another way. And sometimes it is. But the last resort is still a choice, and this in turn requires that one exercise initiative also.
People do not like to appear weak or insufficient. Seeking help and admit that they can not feel good often be a real struggle, as it interferes with one of our deepest fears - of taking up residence in. .. The group! Accompanying this fear is the common misconception that once you 'moved to the "out-group, and experiencing a mental health difficulty, you have it / live there forever. This is a huge fallacy that many mental health organizations have a To change campaign.
In the last ten years I've been in a joint project with leading mental health organization spirit were involved, and their talking therapies program. We explore and promote the idea of mental well-being as members of a continuum. Where could you find yourself high or low or somewhere in between. We have ups and downs, and the key here is, this is normal!
Our places on this scale can move up and down and round and round, as often as you change your socks. After bereavement you may find yourself at a low ebb, near the lower end. Are you living there, at the bottom of well-being for ever? No probably not!
You can find yourself a great success and glowing at the highest altitude also elated. You will not be in a state of euphoria forever-well? The same concept applies to mental health issues. Diagnosis or no diagnosis.
Despite all the support and campaigns by organizations such as MIND, time to rethink and change, it is surprisingly hard to be open about these things. Mental health disclosure takes a more serious consequence if one explores the workplace: Medical records, insurance and selection criteria. But that can wait for another day kettle.
While some studies show that women can hide to keep their use of antidepressants in an effort to make positive self-image and appearance both for themselves and others. It is this look of relief, which is an adaptive and elastic behavior though. A courage that can only mean one strength of character to one that is not willing to settle for less great feeling, they know they can feel, and deserve to feel.
So, let each consider our own beliefs about mental health issues and the social stigma it! Mental health in our personal real life, the lives of our customers, the lives of our loved ones and the lives of celebrities and those portrayed in the media - which is the heart of this stigma is lying? Are collective attitude towards mental ill change in accordance with their media presentation? - I'm not so sure, but every little bit helps right!
I recently saw an old black and white movie where the lead actress flashed a little ankle and promptly pecked her on the cheek dashing date. Total Shocker! She ran with all coy and shy, which looked at her tutting promiscuous and socially neglected dallying.
To do our attitudes and acceptance of new behaviors and have changed over time. What once was a rare Risque1920 ankle Flash now an abundance of raunchy music videos.
