Mental Health- Can We Ever Be Cured?

Expert Author Derek Soto
Mental health is something that most people take for granted. The sad truth is that there are people all over the world who are suffering and there is nothing that they can do if they don't have the right information. It is our responsibility to provide what we know about anxiety and OCD and other maladies to the general public. What I can cover here are some things that you can do and some principles that will help get you going. The first thing you need to do is believe that you can get rid of OCD and anxiety. Now there are a lot of different types of things that cannot be cured currently and these are things like Down syndrome and others.
When we look at mental health what a lot of people are referring to are anxiety. Now, anxiety is a good thing and it serves you and protects you when you need it the most, however, there are times that it can hurt you. You see, a long time ago, way before technology like phones and radios and electricity and all that existed, we lived in much dangerous times where anxiety usually mean that your life was actually in danger and it was good to have anxiety because it saved your life. However, things are different now, but when we stress out over things, this can kick in our anxiety and cause us to have the same fear as if you were really being attacked.
What I want you to know is that you mental health is largely determined by what you put in your mind. I want you to re-read that last sentence a few times and really let it sink in. The reason is that we are watching the news and violent moves and listening to things that are negative, gossiping and such. You should know that our brains retain much more stuff than we are aware of. That is why it's so vital that we surround ourselves with good stimulus. Unless you are someone who can do anything about the situation in a meaningful way, I would invite you to stop watching the news. Have you heard the saying, "no news is good news?" That is true.
Whenever we turn on the TV, we can find that the news is filling your head with negative things. Why do you need to know about the local gas station being robbed? Why do you need to know about the tsunami that killed thousands of people in another country, unless you actually have enough skill, supplies or money to actually help them? The fact of the matter is that most of us would watch that and do absolutely nothing about it.
We also sometimes justify watching it by saying, "well, I'm aware." What does this do? All this serves to do is harm your mental health. People in Canada are less violent because their news is not nearly as gloomy and this affects the mental health of the people that are watching. Since we don't live in Canada, turn off your news for one month and see how your mental health improves! You'll be glad you did, I've prepared some powerful OCD, anxiety and mental health materials for you below, enjoy!
