But the truth is that we can be ill mentally too. Mental health is as important as physical health and it affects you in every stage of life.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Exactly is Mental Health?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Our thought patterns, social life, feelings, emotions and actions depend on our overall mental health. A healthy mind can handle stress better than an unhealthy one. It can also help you make better choices in life.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20331\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20331\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20331 size-medium\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mental-1831391_1280-300x193.png\" alt=\"mental-health-word-frequency-graphic\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mental-1831391_1280-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mental-1831391_1280-600x386.png 600w, https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mental-1831391_1280-1024x659.png 1024w, https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mental-1831391_1280-768x494.png 768w, https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mental-1831391_1280.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Mary Pahlke from Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div>\n<h3><b>What Causes Mental Health Problems?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While anything can lead to mental problems, some of the common causes are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Biological factors, such as genetics or brain chemistry<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family history of mental illness<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Traumatic experiences<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abuse<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><br><\/div>\n<h3><b>Types of Mental <\/b><strong>Illness<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many mental illnesses, but here are the common ones:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mood disorders (such as depression or bipolar disorder)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anxiety<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personality disorders (such as dissociative identity disorder)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychotic disorders (such as schizophrenia)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating disorders (such as bulimia and anorexia)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trauma-related disorders (such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD))<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Substance abuse&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phobias&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<h3><strong>The Stigma Around Mental <\/strong><strong>Illness<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental illness can occur to anyone at any stage of life, irrespective of gender, age, or background. We cannot tell by looking at someone what their mental state is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social stigma and discrimination can make mental health problems worse and stop a person from getting the help they need. We need to be more compassionate towards such people and understand that they are going through challenges beyond what we can see or imagine.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Warning Signs of Poor Mental Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can we check if we or our loved ones may be suffering from a mental illness? Here are some possible signs:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Social isolation (making excuses to avoid gatherings)<\/li>\n<li>Pulling away from loved ones<\/li>\n<li>Mood swings<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating too much or too little<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleeping too much or too little<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Little-to-no energy<\/li>\n<li>Numbness<\/li>\n<li>Feeling helpless\/hopeless<\/li>\n<li>Using substances, drinking, or smoking more than usual<\/li>\n<li>Confused state of mind<\/li>\n<li>More forgetful<\/li>\n<li>Hearing voices or having hallucinations<\/li>\n<li>Desire to harm yourself or others<\/li>\n<li>Inability to perform daily tasks (go to work, take care of a child, shower&#8230;etc)<\/li>\n<li>Lack of interest in previously pleasurable activities\/hobbies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>This list is not exhaustive. In general, if you or someone you care about is acting abnormally for an extended period of time without a clear cause, they may be suffering from a mental illness.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to Help Someone With a Mental Illness<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><b>1. Talk it Out<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often people with depression, anxiety, or another mental disorder find it difficult to talk about it. They may fear you wouldn&#8217;t understand them. If you are suffering from mental issues, find someone you trust to open up to. This may be a family member, your partner, a good friend, or even a kind employer.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a loved one has a mental illness, make yourself a source of support for them. Be respectful and listen to them so they will feel more inclined to continue opening up to you. Do NOT say phrases such as &#8220;I know how you feel,&#8221; &#8220;This will pass,&#8221; or &#8220;You could have it worse.&#8221; Don&#8217;t blame them for their behaviour or frame it as something insignificant or even imaginary. Don&#8217;t interrupt them either.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Professional Help<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As much as a supportive person may be able to help, they are not your therapist. Seek a professional to find treatment plans for overcoming your mental illness.<\/p>\n<p>If your loved one is struggling mentally, encourage them to seek professional help, but do not force them. Let them make the decision to get help and offer your support, such as accompanying them to their first therapist session if possible.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Spreading Mental Health Awareness<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Mental Health Week, check in with yourself and your loved ones. If you are struggling with a mental illness, do not hesitate to reach out to a trusted person or get professional help. If someone you care about is struggling, be a source of support. Nobody has to face mental health problems alone. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental illnesses are treatable and most people can overcome them to live productive and happy lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complete a <a href=\"https:\/\/mentalhealthweek.ca\/check-in-on-your-mental-health\/\">self-assessment<\/a> of your mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sources:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealth.gov\/basics\/what-is-mental-health\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.mentalhealth.gov\/basics\/what-is-mental-health<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthdirect.gov.au\/treatment-for-mental-illness\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.healthdirect.gov.au\/treatment-for-mental-illness<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0def32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d0def32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Want more sustainability tips and updates on our green school project?
