Mental Health Issue In Adolescents

Mental health is an important aspect that can affect one's actions or feelings. However, mental health is still underestimated by the majority of people who think that mental health is not a serious illness and they don't even have the initiative to go to a psychologist. Instead of going to a psychologist, people think that only people with mental disorders, aka crazy people, only go to a psychologist. Cases like this occur because they are not aware of the dangers of mental health, they prefer to harbor emotions and feelings that can make them depressed so that when they express their emotions with negative actions they will blame themselves and it will continue like that.

 The next reason that makes someone reluctant to go to a psychologist is economic problems, most people who have economic problems have a low level of mental health because there is a lot of pressure within them and they are reluctant to share their problems with a psychologist because there is no money to consult a psychologist. 

However, this problem can be overcome by participating in a free program that is held to consult a psychologist, people who are financially disadvantaged actually are given a ration by the government for treatment so they can register themselves at the clinic or ask for a referral letter to the nearest hospital to have it checked. their condition to people who are more skilled at dealing with mental health problems.

Lately there has been a lot of news reporting about suicides committed by both students and celebrities. This is an issue that is very much discussed, many people immediately think that they are guilty for ending their life even though other people do not know the reason behind their decision to end their life. One of the problems that often makes someone commit suicide is their disturbed mental health problem. 

In dealing with problems, they prefer to keep it to themselves, which as a result they release their emotions and problems by taking actions that are detrimental to themselves and even others. This can happen because they think there is no way out that they can do in dealing with their problems so they think that ending their life is a solution. This problem can actually be overcome by telling other people, asking for advice or help, and even consulting people who are more experienced.

The role of parents or the surrounding environment greatly influences a person's mental health. For a student, parents have considerable control over the mentality they experience, for this reason parents must be able to provide assistance to their children and provide advice and direction in dealing with a problem. Not only that, the environment also has control over one's mental health, moreover most problems that arise come from the environment, for that it is necessary to choose an environment that supports positive friendships.

Lastly, I want to say that mental health is very important to take care of, don't take this for granted. Take care of yourself, family and friends, talk if you need to talk and ask questions if you are having difficulties so you can find the best solution to solve the problem.
