Mental health is the foundation for the well-being and effective functioning of individuals. It is more
than the absence of a mental disorder; it is the ability to think, learn, and understand one's emotions
and the reactions of others.
Mental health is a state of balance, both within and with the environment.
From the perspectives of positive psychology or holism, mental health may include an individual's
ability to enjoy life and to create a balance between life activities and efforts to
achieve psychological resilience.
Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how one
defines “mental health”.

Let’s dig deeper
Stress is your body’s response to the changes around you. It is also a collective physiological and
emotional responses to any stimulus that disturbs an individual’s homeostasis, which refers to the stability and
consistency in an individual’s physiological functioning.
1. Eustress or positive stress – stress that helps you accomplish and reach goals. When you feel excited or
challenged by an activity, you are experiencing positive stress. Positive stress can make you alert and
focused on a task. This helps you get the task done.
2. Distress or negative stress - stress that can hold you back. When people talk about being under a lot of
stress, they usually mean negative stress. Too much negative stress can be unhealthy.
Common Stressors
Stressor is any physical or psychological event or condition that produces stress. We are surrounded
by stressors at home, at school, in the workplace, and within ourselves. Being able to recognize potential sources
of stress is an important step in successfully managing it.
1. Major Life Changes
Any major change in your life that requires adjustment and accommodation can be a source of stress.
High school life is one of the major life changes in an individual's life because of establishing new relationships,
setting new study habits or even career goals, and developing a sense of identity and purpose. Even changes
typically thought of as positive like graduation, job promotion, or marriage can be stressful.
6 || Health 7
2. Daily Hassles
While major life changes are undoubtedly stressful, they seldom occur regularly. Life's daily hassles
can be an even greater source of stress because they occur much more often like the following:
●
●
●
●
●
Misplaced your keys, wallet, or a school project
Had an argument with a troublesome neighbor, classmate, or family members
Waiting in a long line
Been stuck in traffic or had another problem with transportation
Worried about money
3. Job-related Stress.
If job-related stress is severe or chronic, the result can be burn out a state of physical, mental, and
emotional exhaustion.
4. Interpersonal and Social Stressors.
Your relationships with family members and old friends. You may change as you develop new interests
and new course for your life
5. Environmental Stressors.
Environmental stressors include the things like natural disasters, industrial accidents, and intrusive
noise, smell, or sight.
Managing stress
The first step toward reducing stress is learning what your triggers are. "If you know what pushes your
buttons, then avoid it. But there are stresses we have to accept, so we must change our reactions to them,"
explains Dr. Webster.
She offers the following ways to reduce or manage stress:
1. Relaxation techniques.
These are activities that trigger the relaxation response, a physiological change that can help lower
your blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, oxygen consumption, and stress hormones. You can achieve
this with activities such as meditation, guided imagery, yoga, and deep breathing exercises.
2. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
CBT is based on the idea that changing unhealthy thinking can change your emotions. A CBT therapist
will help you identify negative thinking and learn to automatically replace it with healthy or positive thoughts.
3. Goal setting.
"When people set goals for themselves, they have a positive sense of commitment, feel they're in control, and
are optimistic," says Dr. Webster. She recommends setting goals in your career, relationships, creativity, play,
and health.

this stress? A great deal. By sharing your plans, improving communication skills, maintaining healthy exercise
and good relaxation habits, and mastering simple techniques to identify and moderate individuals’ stressors.

the time. People who manage stress effectively not only are healthier, they also have more time to enjoy life and
accomplish their goals. Here are some rules for managing stress effectively.
1. Plan. Learn how to budget your time. Thinking ahead can help you avoid the stress of cramming for tests,
submitting of homework, and dealing with so many chores at home. Planning your time can result in
accomplishments that will build on your self-concept.
2. Communication. Discuss your problems with a friend, a teacher, or a family member. This can help
relieve stress. People with some distance from your problems can often see solutions more clearly.
3. Exercise. People who exercise regularly react with milder physical stress responses before, during, and
after exposure to stressors. According to studies, people who took three, brisk, 45-minute walk a week
for 3 months perceived fewer daily hassles. Their sense of wellness also increased.
9 || Health 7
4. Sleep. Adequate sleep improves mood, fosters feelings of competence, and self-worth, and supports
optional mental and emotional functioning. Sleeping extra hours may significantly improve your daytime
alertness and mental abilities.
5. Relax. Lie down or sit down and try to empty your mind of troubling thoughts. This can ease stress. Listen
to soothing music, which can also help.
6. Nutrition. A healthy diet will give an energy bank to draw on whenever you experience stress. Eating
wisely also will enhance your feelings of self- control and self-esteem.
7. Laugh. Spend time with people who make you laugh. This is good way to relax. Of you are planning to
go to the movies after an especially stressful day, choose a funny movie. You will most likely feel better
after you laugh.
Techniques for Managing Stress
1. Social support help buffet people against the effects of stress and make illness less likely. Good
communication skills foster healthy relationship with others.
2. Exercise, nutrition, and sleep are wellness behaviors that reduce stress and increase energy.
3. Time management is an effective coping technique for those who tend to procrastinate, take on too many
tasks, or organize their time poorly.
4. Cognitive techniques for managing stress involve developing new and healthy patterns of thinking such
as worrying constructively, practicing problem solving, monitoring self-talk, living in the present, cultivating a
sense of humor, and going with the flow.
5. The relaxation response is the opposite of the fight or flight reaction. Techniques that trigger it, including
progressive relaxation, meditation, and deep breathing counteract the physiological effects of chronic stress.

Let’s dig deeper
Death, like life is change. When the body is no longer able to resist unhealthy change in itself or is
mechanically broken beyond repair, it ceases to function and dies. Death has been defined in clinical terms as
occurring when the hearts stop beating and breathing ceases.
The five stages of grief
1. Denial and Isolation. This initial stage is characterized as a temporary state of shock in which people
deny the fact of death and isolate themselves from further confrontation with it. Denial is a useful coping
mechanism because it acts as buffet against shock and allows time for the mobilization of other defenses.
2. Anger. It is a normal response to disability and the loss of control over one’s life situation.
3. Bargaining. People often find a way out and a common scenario invokes making promises to God in
exchange for a prolonged life. The intense desire to find a way out drives people to become prone to
medical quackery.
4. Depression. It is a natural part of grief as a person strives to prepare f separation from the world. At this
stage, the dying person and the family begin to accept the fact and face the reality if an impending death.
They become depressed about unfinished things in life and everything they would leave behind.
5. Acceptance. When death is near, they may choose not to talk much with visitors and family members
and close friends, this is part of letting go.
Coping with Grief
Grief encompasses a person's response to the event of loss. It includes emotions mental perceptions, and
physical reactions. Among the emotions that may be part of a survivor’s grief are not only sorrow and sadness,
but also relief, anger, disgust, and self-pity. When we recognize that many kinds of feelings occur in grief-not
12 || Health 7
just feelings of sadness-then we are likely to be better able to accept our grief and move toward its resolution.
Grieving is the means to healing.
1. Realize and recognize the loss.
2. Take time for nature's slow, sure process of healing.
3. Give yourself massive doses of restful relaxation and routine busy-ness.
4. Know that powerful, overwhelming feelings will change with time.
5. Be vulnerable, share your pain, and be humble enough to accept support
6. Surround yourself with life, plants, animals, and friends.
7. Prepare for change, new interests, new friends, solitude, creativity, and growth.
8. Recognize that forgiveness is a vital part of the healing process.
9. Know that holidays and anniversaries can bring up the painful feelings you thought you had successfully
worked through.
10. Realize that any new death-related crisis will bring up feelings about past losses.

Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you
love is taken away.
You may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt,
and profound sadness.
The pain of grief can also disrupt your physical health, making it difficult to sleep, eat, or even think
straight.
Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life’s biggest challenges.
Whatever your loss, it’s personal to you, so don’t feel ashamed about how you feel, or believe that it’s
somehow only appropriate to grieve for certain things.
If the person, animal, relationship, or situation was significant to you, it’s normal to grieve the loss you’re
experiencing.
Grieving is a highly individual experience; there’s no right or wrong way to grieve.
How you grieve depends on many factors, including your personality and coping style, your life
experience, your faith, and how significant the loss was to you.
While grieving a loss is an inevitable part of life, there are ways to help cope with the pain, come to
terms with your grief, and eventually, find a way to pick up the pieces and move on with your life.
o Acknowledge your pain.
o
Accept that grief can trigger many different and unexpected emotions.
o
Understand that your grieving process will be unique to you.
o
Seek out face-to-face support from people who care about you.
o

o

The five stages of grief
o Denial: “This can’t be happening to me.

o Depression: “I’m too sad to do anything.”
o Acceptance: “I’m at peace with what happened.”

heart, muscle pain, and sweating. One type of neurosis is obsessive compulsive or OC, which may spend
a great deal of time washing their hands or making sure doors are locked. Professional counseling can
help people with different types of neurosis.
2. Psychosis
The victim's view of the world becomes distorted. When this happens, the person is said to suffer
from psychosis. This is a condition in which a person is not able to function in the real world. A person
with psychosis may hear voices or speak in a way that is meaningless to others. There are many types
of psychosis. The most common type is schizophrenia, which means "split mind." Schizophrenia is a
serious disorder in which people turn inward and often lose touch with reality completely. Some experts
