Speech on the importance of mental health awareness and effective strategies to promote mental health.
Hello everyone, My name is Kiara Joy. It is a great pleasure to be here today to open this seminar, which provides a valuable opportunity to highlight the positive steps that can be taken to promote mental health and wellbeing. I'm confident that today's conversation will once again draw attention to the various obstacles that occasionally hinder people from different backgrounds from seeking and obtaining support for mental health difficulties.
What Exactly is a Mental Illness? A mental illness is a physical illness of the brain that causes disturbances in thinking, behavior, energy or emotion that make it difficult to cope with the ordinary demands of life. The two most common mental health conditions. First is Anxiety Disorders. Anxiety Disorders is More than 18% of adults each year struggle with some type of anxiety disorder, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder (panic attacks), generalized anxiety disorder and specific phobias. Second is Mood Disorders. Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar depression, affect nearly 10% of adults each year and are characterized by difficulties in regulating one’s mood.
Studies show that stigma against mental illness is still strong, in large part because of media stereotypes and a lack of education, and that people tend to associate mental health conditions with negative stigmas at a much higher rate than they do with other illnesses and disabilities, such as cancer, diabetes, or heart disease. This is true even though the general perception of mental illness has improved over the past few decades. Stigma has an impact on both the number of people seeking treatment and the amount of resources available for effective care. Someone who is coping with a mental health problem may feel like they are facing impassable barriers due to stigma and false information.
Showing individuals respect and acceptance removes a significant barrier to successfully coping with their illness. Advocating within our circles of influence helps ensure these individuals have the same rights and opportunities as other members of your church, school and community. Learning more about mental health allows us to provide helpful support to those affected in our families and communities. I am sure you will agree that Mental Health Awareness is vitally important in raising awareness of the continuing need to make mental health a priority for all people.
Thank You.
