Happiness and your Mental Health

Depression has affected more than 264 million people— yet it can be tough for some people who live with it to find the resources they want. Whether it’s a safe space to share your feelings anonymously, useful self-care methods, or the latest in mental health research, you should know that you aren’t alone. It’s a better world when everyone is in it together, fighting away. 


Your happiness depends on your mental health. No amount of material gains will satiate it. Money is a temporary object for fulfilling happiness, but real mental health is finding contentment within no matter what the circumstances stand. Your future and your past are not there, the only thing is the present. 

Eradicating mental health issues such as anxiety and depression would raise happiness by 20%, whereas eliminating poverty would boost happiness quotient by only 5%. In other words, handling your mental health problems would be four times more helpful at increasing happiness than dropping the poverty line. And the best part is that reducing mental illness doesn't have to cost a penny and creates a better world. 

 

Make happiness a priority

 

According to Layard's Origins of Happiness report aims to transform how the government thinks about human priorities, and to push them to prioritize happiness and well being as a measure of a country's achievement, rather than economic factors. 

Norway was just ranked as the happiest country in the World Happiness Report 2017. Norway took the top spot, followed by Denmark, Iceland, Finland, The Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Sweden. This surely is a mark for making changes and rooting for new beginnings. 

 

You are mentally healthy if you take pleasure in being with most of the people you know, particularly with the important people in your life, such as your close family and friends. Usually, you are happy around them and are more than eager to help a miserable family friend, member, or colleague to feel good. You lead a mostly laugh a lot, have a stress-free life, and hardly ever undergo from the aches and pains that so many people recognize as an inevitable part of living. 

 

Today, the world is fighting a big pandemic. We need more people who are physically and mentally healthy. There is so much love everywhere; all we need to do is look for it. One can go for self-help or just ask another, share their feelings. Sometimes that’s happiness.

Where is the Love?

There is a song called “Where’s the Love” by Black Eyed Peas. It has profound lyrics about the deprived state of the world. The words concentrated on death, children, asking questions about the abysmal world, killings, and terrorism, discrimination, justice, and corruption. At one point, the lyrics even tell you to take control of the mind in the world of change and insanity all around. It talks about the real side of the world- the media, racism, money, etc. Why are we talking about the song? It’s because the lyrics still apply for today. Today people are worried about the  future   even more.    Crisis and compassion   Owing to so many problems deeper than what it looks like, the search for   happiness   is even more!

What are the odds?

What are the odds that we were born on this planet? What are the odds that there is life beyond this galaxy? What are the odds of getting the coronavirus again even after the vaccine is made? There are questions that we all crave answers for. While some will answer what you want to hear, the  positive , others will be objectively answering it. Biomedical research habitually focuses on the discovery of relationships (associations) between variables (phenomena or attributes). It is significant to note that association may or may not signify a causal relationship. This depends on numerous factors.    This is the  gift of life   that everyone needs to accept no matter what the answers. You are here and will be here for as long as your life permits.    Coincidence or accident?   Many believe in serendipity, signs, telepathy, things that are beyond our explanation. Some believe in the  power of now .  it is said that there is a w...
