The absence of disease isn’t the only indicator of good mental health. The term “good health” refers to a state of physical and mental well-being. Most of us are aware of the need to exercise, eat a healthy diet, and get enough sleep to keep our bodies in good shape. Unfortunately, many of us disregard one of the most important aspects of our health: mental health. Physical may not be enough to maintain your total health and well-being because mental and physical health is connected.
Stress and anxiety can manifest differently for everyone. No one can prevent people from having stress, we all stress about things, it’s natural and it’s a part of life. But it’s how we deal with the stress that makes all the difference. The number of people who can’t cope with mental health problems is getting worse, and the number of people who self-harm or have suicidal thoughts is increasing. While we all experience stress, worry, loss, or despair from time to time, the mental illness lasts much longer than a brief period of these symptoms becoming severe and interfering with our capacity to operate.
When you develop a physical illness or health problem, you will often have obvious symptoms, such as pain, inflammation, or fever. Mental health problems typically have symptoms, too, but their symptoms are easy to miss or ignore. They may go unnoticed until they are severe enough to interfere with your daily function. Catching symptoms early can help you get the treatment you need and the relief you deserve.
The most common symptoms can include:
- Changes in your sleep patterns
- Poor energy
- Feeling numb or disinterested in your normal activities
- Social isolation
- Feeling hopeless or depressed
- Abusing substances, such as alcohol or drugs
- Unexplained anger or irritability
- Intrusive thoughts
- Mood swings
- Brain fog or forgetfulness
- Suicidal feelings
- You might be at an increased risk of mental health problems if you have a history of mental health issues or a personal history of trauma.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful technique that combines deep focus with profound relaxation. It can help treat mental health issues. It is not invasive. It is gentle yet strong and direct. A hypnotherapist employs positive direct suggestions while inducing the patient into a trance-like condition, which involves visualizations and suggestions to relax the patient. It is when a patient is in a relaxed state that promotes the aim of the treatment and where old negative behaviours are changed into positive ones enabling a more positive you.
