Physical Illness Vs. Mental Illness
[2023-05-12 23:22:20]
I resisted my cold, but it caused extreme fatigue, weakness, lack of motivation, and a lot of snoring and coughing. For people around me, I am ill because of physical signs. Because it is such an obvious illness, people expect little fatigue and slow progress. You will find that someone is sick to verify it and make it a reality
That night my colleague asked me why I'm going to work and I told myself I should go home and take a break. Since I am a poor college student, I will continue to work. But when I was working, I had to think about something similar to what I felt when my depression was worse than usual. And if you go to work and tell them that you are sick, they will believe me without a doubt. My voice is very awkward, my nose is stuffy and I am very late the night before. However, if I get sick for depression, there may be several questions about why it should be considered sick. Because of "personal problems" and "discomfort", I feel like telling the professor not to attend the class. For most teachers, these are unacceptable and must be "real diseases".
So why? Why is depression fatigue different from influenza fatigue? Why is there no validation? Just because people can not see the signs of depression? Please think more for friends, colleagues, those who asked classmates why they were absent from the course due to "depression" or "anxiety". When we are single or influenza, please understand that the same fatigue we feel is like we are exhausted from psychosis. If you have migraine and you can not cope with thinking or concentration, just like you can not cope with thoughts and concentration due to psychosis, I do not like to motivate you or I do not like going to class.
Mental illness is as realistic as physical illness. Just because you can not see it does not mean it does not exist. Just because people do not talk much about it does not mean that it does not exist. Similar attention is required for physical and mental illness. The same point is necessary for physical and mental illness
Whether it is exercise, healthy diet or medicine, we have been trained to physically take care of ourselves. It spreads throughout the media and is taught in schools. But our mental health is equally important and we all need to learn to take care of ourselves and each other in this regard. Most people do not know how to help people suffering from psychosis. There is an opinion that "If you go out to do something, you feel better" or "Have you had a more positive idea?" What? No
In general, people understand psychiatric disorders and mental health, and few need to change. Basically, you need to respect people, such as being bad feeling, not being tired, not careful. Psychiatric disorders are as realistic as physical disorders and are equally serious
Today, medical staff usually do not use the term mental illness. Because it means people are suffering from mental illness due to physical discomfort. The term "illness" means that psychosis is caused by physical factors. This is not always true. Many psychiatric disorders have physical causes (eg, depression due to chemical imbalance), but many mental disorders have psychological causes (eg, depression due to death of the loved one). Some physical diseases may even have psychological causes (eg eczema caused by stress). Therefore, the difference between psychology and physics is not clear. Therefore, because the term mental disorder is a more neutral term, some healthcare professionals prefer to use this term.
INTRODUCTION Mental illness is a field of sickness that not only affects individual's health but also affects the quality of life of these people. Mental illnesses affect all populations, but disadvantaged people such as homeless, prisoners, unemployed people, the elderly, etc. are at higher risk of mental illness. Mental illness is not just about accurately understanding the impact on individuals with mental illness and mental illness
