Can anxiety become a mental illness?

 Can anxiety become a mental illness?


Atyas means to panic and rush. The reason for panic varies from person to person. Some people have a habit of rushing. Some people have to do everything quickly from a young age, if they are doing one thing, when will that work be done and then the next one will be done, it is difficult to wait for their turn even when talking, even if they have to wait for a long time somewhere, they become impatient. This is called panic habit.



This anxiety habit is not a disease. If the nature is already anxious, then it can be improved through behavior change and counseling.


If any person panics, something may be bothering him. Let's say, the problem of thinking. A person with a delusional problem feels as if others are thinking bad about you, plotting, etc. In such a case, the person often tries to get away from the person who interrupted him.


Patients with anxiety disorders and mania are often hyperactive. So he tries to do more work in less time. As a result, a person who is doing a job is worried about when that job will be finished. A person with a fear problem is afraid that something bad will happen to me if I can't do it. Even though the person knows that it is only fear, it seems that when he cannot control himself, he becomes more afraid, anxious and agitated.



Similarly, a person with a problem of depression, a person with weak morale, if he is able to do something well or if he is not able to do something, he is tormented by pain and worry that something bad will happen to me and seems to hurry more than necessary.


Another problem seen in our society is 'obsessive compulsive disorder'. Although he knows that some wrong thought is coming to his mind, he cannot control it. When you try to control it, the heart beats, it becomes difficult to breathe, it is fast, and it seems that what is not right and what is not enough.


After doing something, there is a feeling of inferiority that you have done it in vain and if you are not able to do that work, there is a problem of anxiety. Anxiety problems are usually a symptom of all mental illnesses. Anxiety is a disease of fear if there is a problem of panic for no reason. But in any problem, because it is difficult internally, it seems that they are afraid when they are not able to present their problem well.


Even though the mind knows that there is no need to be afraid, if there is a problem of fear and anxiety without any reason, it is an anxiety disorder. Anxiety can be seen in any mental illness. A person with arousal problem has a problem of anxiety due to overstimulation of the mind and body. A person suffering from depression has a very low morale, which makes him panic over the smallest things, whether something went wrong or not.


Even the habit of panic can turn into a disease later


Some people may have a habit of being nervous, but whether they are nervous or not, everyone experiences stress. Just because he has a habit of panicking, it does not necessarily mean that he does everything in a hurry.


For example, there are four members in a family. Three of them do not panic at all and one person has a tendency to panic. If there is some problem in the family, three people solve the problem as easily as possible. It is very difficult for an anxious person to find a solution.


People with anxiety are more likely to develop mental health problems due to stress than others. People with panic disorder are more likely to suffer from fear and anxiety disorders.


Who has more problems with rushing?


In children under 10 years of age, the problem of panic and haste does not appear much. In children above 10 years of age, the problem of panic and rushing may be seen.


Due to the pressure of studies and work, if there is no one to listen to them at home, such children have the problem of rushing, panicking, and acting out.


Compared to the previous generation, today's children seem to be more attracted to mobile phones. They watch Tik Tok and Reel more on mobile, which are very short-lived, even in that short time, many things are included. As a result, the child gets used to seeing a lot of things in a short time. When watching a reel, they scroll in 5 to 10 seconds, which makes it difficult for them to watch even a three-minute video. It is difficult for a person who watches a three-minute reel to watch a 30-minute video.


Because things change faster than before, when one thing is not well understood and immediately attracted to another thing, it seems that children can't focus on something, can't pay attention, can't divide their attention.


Treatment and prevention


Having a habit of panic does not mean that everyone has mental illness. By saying that you have a habit of panic, you cannot change the character and personality of a person today or tomorrow. Another problem may arise when you think that you will change your personality. As long as the anxiety problem has not affected work, relationships and daily life, then there is no need to worry about the disease. But when this habit causes me to get irritable, get angry, affect relationships, have problems with memory and sleep, then I should be aware that I have a mental illness and I should go to the hospital and seek the advice of a doctor.


If it is not possible to make an offering to a doctor, they can do daily physical and mental exercises, meditation. How the body and mind feel when not panicking and how it feels when panicky and how to control it If you think about what can be done, there is less chance that the habit of anxiety will turn into a disease.

"There is also a need to discuss the mental health of teachers"

"There is also a need to discuss the mental health of teachers"


  Recently, there are many problems related to mental health in school students. This affects their ability to acquire skills and knowledge. At times, public awareness programs on mental health are targeted at students.



But the mental health of the teachers who teach the same children is not given much attention. Teachers may also be stressed by personal problems such as their home affairs and career. The effect of which can be seen in their work. It can have a direct impact on students' teaching and learning.



In this case, don't teachers need training on human health? How important is it to discuss the mental health of teachers? What is the teacher's health condition? In this context, psychiatrist Dr. Edited excerpt of online journalist Manisha Thapa's conversation with Vasudev Karki:


How important is it to discuss the mental health of teachers?


Suzuki Dashain Offer



Children are the foundations of the future. Teachers are the creators of children's future. Therefore, if the creator is not mentally healthy, the society of the future will not be prosperous. Therefore, it is very important to take care of the mental health of both children and teachers.


In the context of Nepal, there are many mental health programs targeting children and students. But by focusing on teachers, the discussion about mental health is reduced.


On the other hand, some time ago in America, there was a survey about the mental health of teachers. According to which 27 percent of the teachers were suffering from depression. In a prosperous country like America, teachers are going through mental problems like depression, but in a country like Nepal, the government has not been able to provide even the necessary services and facilities that teachers should get. It can be attributed to the recent teachers' movement. Even if only the teachers present in the movement are studied, 50 percent of them may have problems like depression.


In this case, if the mental condition of the teacher is not good, how can the children like the little buds get quality education from the education given by them? Therefore, it is very important to discuss the mental health of teachers.


Teachers have their own problems. Family matters, financial matters or various things are also making them stressed. Is the side-effect of such stress in the classroom or not?


If the teacher himself is in a stressful situation, its side-effect is completely falling in the classroom. A person who is mentally stressed may also have anxiety and depression. Due to stress, symptoms such as sleeplessness and dizziness may appear in them. How can he teach in the classroom who has not slept all night? On top of that, a teacher who is going through depression may have anger, impulses, and thoughts playing in his mind, and a teacher who comes to the classroom with a stressed mind either does not want to teach and is forced to teach.


Also, even a small mistake by a student in class can cause anger in the teacher. The result may be activities such as scolding and beating students. There are many examples of incidents of beatings by teachers from time to time. This can affect the mental health of not only the teachers, but also the students studying there. Not only that, the teacher may not be able to share enough knowledge as needed, which affects the students' learning.


How does the mood of teachers affect children?


If someone greets you with a smile when you go somewhere, the atmosphere is different. The same principle applies in the classroom. If the teacher looks cheerful and energetic, then even the students who are sitting in the classroom will get energy and vigor. They can easily absorb what is taught. They do not feel that the class is over.


But there is a lot of stress going on in the teacher's mind. He has no energy, no energy and comes with an angry face. And, if they are always presented in the same way in the class, students may not like to read, find it difficult to concentrate, and may not like to ask questions that they do not understand. Some teachers are kind enough to vent their anger on students due to the personal stress of homework. In this case, students are afraid to even sit in class. The class atmosphere is also negative.


All students consider their teachers as the storehouse of knowledge. Children consider teachers as their role models and they dream of being like teachers. Students follow not only the teacher's teaching but also their behavior. The direct effect on the students' emotional state and learning environment also depends on the teacher's presentation.


Even if the student is not scolded or beaten, some behavior of the teacher has a direct effect, right?

 

First, it was said that small punishments should be given to the students to make them level and discipline them. If you don't do your homework, if you make noise in the classroom, if you don't obey, you will get beaten up. But now the idea that students should not be beaten will have a more negative impact on children. Most teachers believe that the classroom should be child-friendly. However, activities such as not encouraging, not responding, and discouraging the students for their extracurricular activities in the class can have a negative effect on the student's mentality. Not only that, because stressed teachers cannot teach well, students also cannot learn well.


If the teacher himself is depressed or sad, can he cover it up and teach the students properly?


If the teacher himself is sad, he cannot cover it up. Even if they want to, they cannot teach the students properly. No matter how much the teacher tries to hide his indifference, it can be seen in his behavior.


What kind of mental problems can teachers have?


Depression, anxiety and stress are the most common psychological problems among teachers. Some teachers are not even able to experience that they have mental problems. But in their behavior, the symptoms of mental problems are visible and if the problem becomes dominant, the behavior may change. After which students and colleagues around can also notice.


How to make the teacher mentally healthy and emotionally strong?


In order to make them mentally healthy and emotionally strong, their stress can be reduced by giving them the wages that schools and colleges deserve, understanding the problems of teachers from time to time, not giving them unnecessary pressure from the administration, encouraging them when they have done a good job.


Also, it is important for the teacher to have a discussion program with the counselor at school from time to time, so that they can openly discuss the mental stress they have.


It is necessary for the government to conduct mental health awareness programs in all teaching areas and to train teachers on modern education. This can increase the intellectual capacity of the teachers and can also increase their passion for teaching.
