Mental health, what do we really know or understand about it?

Mental health, what do we really know or understand about it?

Chances are you know people affected by it.  It could be one of your parents or siblings, a friend, colleague, neighbour or yourself.

One in four people exist with it and not by choice.  It’s like getting a virus, one day you are okay, the next you know something isn’t quite right but you can’t quite put your finger on it.

There are outward signs which friends or family might notice like agitation, restlessness or becoming withdrawn.  This could indicate something or nothing.  Just asking “are you okay?” could open a really useful and constructive conversation.

Don’t be fobbed off by the response “I’m okay how are you?”.  This is the quickest and easiest way of avoiding an awkward conversation.

There are many types of mental health issue; these range from anxiety, adhd, eating disorders, work related stress, bipolar, depression, ptsd and more.

Talking to someone can make all the difference.  So could taking some form of medication.

The first and hardest step is to realise and accept there is something wrong.  If you don’t feel like you can talk to your family then you can talk in confidence with your GP.  The only time they will involve other parties is if they truly believe you are going to harm yourself or another person.

A GP can refer you for counselling, cognitive behaviour therapy, a specialist in a specific field, or ask you to keep checking in with them.

They may also discuss how you feel about taking medication.  They will only prescribe something if you agree to it.  However, once you start taking medication you may be taking it for 3 to 6 months, a year or life.  There is no sure or fast answer as we are all different.

There are alternative types of therapy which may help.  If you want to try them or learn more look up Reiki, meditation, mindfulness, acupuncture, crystal light therapy, emotional freedom technique or tapping, neuro linguistic programming, hypnotherapy, thought field therapy – there are many more!

There are many reasons we might feel sad, down or have difficulty at some times.

We have learnt right and wrong, good and bad and more from our parents, teachers and different authority figures and television.

We first learn how to tell a lie between the ages of two and four.  This could be to protect ourselves or another from being told off.

We learn that boys don’t cry and grasses get beaten up.  Parents send us to our rooms until we’ve calmed down.  We bottle things and emotions up.  Put on a game face.

At Tactical we offer training and development, coaching and mentoring, mental health awareness courses, and more courses available where required and have an open door and communication policy.  We also have a trained NLP Master Practitioner on our books as further support.  We have telephone numbers to numerous support agencies (please see the end of the article if you or someone you know needs one) which are freely available to staff.

We recognise the value of saying “well done”.  It promotes self worth.  We recognise the value of a team.  You feel included.  We have an appointed personal coach and point of contact, General Manager Steve Nardone.
