Mental health issues can be caused by a lot of factors such as biochemical imbalances in the brain, nutrient deficiencies, as well as toxins.  Mental health issues can also be genetics, inability to cope, poor social skills, or a reaction to a negative experience. The anxiety and depression being felt are signs of deeper psychological issues.

How to understand Mental problems

How would you feel when the whole world is falling apart in front of you and the people you thought cared about you seem to be avoiding you or drifting away because of the unusual behavior you may have been exhibiting?

The feeling of depression becomes more intense and you will just continue to spiral down until you resort to drugs or suicide to put a stop to the unresolved feeling.

Sometimes, we look down on people with mental illness.. We tend to be scared as if the disease can contaminate us.  We ridicule, reject, or even  isolate  a person with mental illness. Has it crossed your mind about how you would like to be treated if it happened to you?

Causes of Mental health issues.

Mental health issues can be caused by a lot of factors such as biochemical imbalances in the brain, nutrient deficiencies, as well as toxins.  It can also be genetics, inability to cope, poor social skills, or a reaction to a negative experience.  The anxiety and depression being felt are signs of deeper psychological issues.

Different Terms of Mental Illnesses

“Psychological emergency” is the term used by psychologist Stanislav Grof to describe mental illnesses, while psychologist Peter Brygin coined the term “psychological overwhelm”.  Both of these terms were  diagnosis by describing a process. It’s meant to be an experience, not a stigmatizing label that can last a lifetime. If psychosis is not a life-long condition but a temporary response similar to a runny nose when we have a cold, then there is something  what we can do to empower those who are going through mental distress.

If we learn to read the warning signs of an impending cold, we can learn to interpret the deeper cause and meaning of psychological overwhelm. By taking time to explore our feelings instead of reacting to them, we can make some headway.

There is nothing to be afraid of emotions.  Feelings shouldn’t be denied. There is a reason for the presence of such feelings or emotions.  Understanding them early gives us the opportunity to reverse their snowballing effect. The body and the mind will always try to find balance or regain equilibrium no matter how filled with emotion a person is. But often we need prodding to grapple with uncomfortable feelings, to get to their root. Deep emotion is not something we understand well in this society. It is reserved for poets and artists.

Mental health and emotions

Parents of mentally ill patients often say that “she was too sensitive” or “he gets so emotional”, implying as if either of these qualities was a bad thing. However, the human mind thrives on imagination, metaphors, and rhythm.. The subconscious feeds on dreams to create, to solve problems, and to come to terms with what is in the waking world.

To unravel the meaning of your emotions, an extraordinary yet relatively simple process known as Tracking is developed by psychologist Dr Vern Woolf which makes use of the imagination and senses (sight, sound, color, texture, and smell) to understand the positive intent of uncomfortable feelings. It can be used to decipher the “voices” heard in episodes of schizophrenia.

Mental health issues  and creative approaches

When we are feeling down, or we had a bad day, creative approaches, such as music, art, visualization or tracking can help channel emotion and the senses into a realm we can easily understand. Not only do they take the pressure off of a potentially explosive and disempowering personal experience, but they can also be used to discover our uniqueness. They enable us to know ourselves in ways we never imagined and, ultimately, make us stronger in what is often a strange and stressful world.
