Human Nature and Mental Health Issues
Human being needs a positive state of mind in performing different tasks successfully in their daily routine works. Right from the birth of a child various factors can affect human mental health. All these factors are either present in the environment of a person or heredity determines it. No matter how much suitable the environment he surrounded; person's heredity influence is sometimes above all. People get motivated and reinforce positively and negatively from every single moment of life.
As a social animal we cannot live without others and our mental and emotional health is determined by our society. Human social rules and goals differ from individual to individual depending on human seeking and adapting abilities and past experiences. Mental problems and emotional issues rise when we cannot cope up the situation, decision making and taking responsibilities looks hard. When we look deeper and closer to human thinking we realized that, problem start from frustration which is natural to everyone. When we feel that something is not acceptable for us, than we get frustrated and this frustration when remain, leads to other problems as well.
Simply when we cross the borderline of frustration than it doesn't remain just frustration and move to other mental health issues, it mainly leads to anxiety and depress behavior. But the human mind during this difficult stage of problem solving; start resolving and making mind back to normal state. Situation gets critical when it becomes difficult for a person to manage it during the short period of time. More difficulties, more issues, unsuitable circumstances and little previous experience make the conditions more complicated.
Human being needs support from people to get the right results and also to get rid of bad state of mind. Complications arises more when the problem is not being discussed with other. But just discussion doesn't give the right solutions and similarly all problems cannot be discussed again and again. Every problem has its own nature, value and importance for an individual in trouble.
It is always significant to consult a counselor or any experienced person who has good practice in handling same sort of situations. It is more suitable to consult any professional counselor with whom you can discuss the matters in more feasible manners. Counselor rule is to provide individual and group counseling with respect to the problem faced by the subject or a group. Counselor starts with establishing and building a confidence with the subject. When it is felt by counselor that it seems comfortable to move further than problems are dig out. Real problem identification demands a support not only from individual but also from his family, friends and his colleagues. Above all it needs to understand the situation from both parties and it is the subject who has to decide that which options are good and the most better for him.
