How to keep a healthy mind

We all experience depression, boredom and anxiety at some point in our lives and this is a natural process. Some things, matters, events affect us in an unusual way and we become sad, bored, but if this sadness and boredom does not heal even after a lapse of one to two weeks and it affects our daily routine. This is not a good sign if it starts to have an effect, it means you are suffering from depression.

 In the early nineteenth century, a German anatomist, Ernest Heisch Weber, first proposed the theory of mental health. He said that the way we look at the world affects our senses and this feeling shapes our personality and emotions.
  With the advancement of medical research in modern times, new definitions of the concept of health are emerging. Earlier, the concept of health was based only on the proper functioning of the body and organs, now the term mental health has been added. Medical experts say that physical health will also improve if you are mentally healthy and strong.
   According to the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization, "Mental health is good for us, because it gives us a positive image, because our thoughts, feelings and behaviors have a profound effect on our lives." A person with good mental health is able to lead a stable life and develop strategies to meet the challenges of his life satisfactorily in order to overcome any obstacles, as well as healthier with others. He is also able to have relationships. ”
    Some psychiatrists point out that neurodegenerative genes (differences in mental structure) are important in terms of mental health, that some people naturally lack the ability to develop proper mental health, as well as some people who suffer from severe pain or discomfort. If you have a disability or a serious illness or the pain of losing a close relative, your brain will be affected, which will keep your mental health in balance.

     World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on October 10 to raise awareness about mental health. Each year this day has a different theme, the World Health Organization's theme for this year is "Mental Health for All: Wider Access, More Investment." That is, more should be invested in the field of mental health so that more people can be aware of this. In modern times, people suffer from a myriad of mental and emotional health problems. Depression, depression, stress, anxiety are faced by every other person and that is why the number of suicides is increasing all over the world.

 To achieve the best mental health we need strong and stable relationships and relationships, the more sincere and loving relationships are around us, the more we will stay away from disappointment and sadness. At the same time, being aware of your strengths and weaknesses keeps you mentally healthy.

  According to Dr Nadini Sammy, Associate Lecturer in Sports and Exercise at the University of Exeter England, we should focus on improving our minds by creating awareness about ourselves. Self-awareness is an ability to understand different moods, emotions and can play an important role in improving mental and physical health. "Once you have a deep understanding of your feelings, causes and behaviors, you can make better decisions for yourself and this improvement activates your mental health," he said.
Psychologists and medical experts have offered the following tips in the light of their research to keep the mind healthy, active and positive:
