We have experienced an exceptional situation where changes happen daily, and much of the news that comes to us is difficult to control on an emotional level. It is everyone’s responsibility to care for mental health, promote emotional well-being, and prevent mental disorders.
With this in mind, experts offer eight recommendations for mental health treatment in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic:
Information with restrictions: It is important to be informed about the news. Nevertheless, not all news distributed is positive and the amount of information can sometimes be overwhelming. Take some time to let yourself know what’s going on. It’s not about living in ignorance, it’s about not getting too much information.
Healthy Eating: Eating is closely related to mental health: behavior, mood, and even pathologies and the treatment of mental illness. Adhering to a healthy lifestyle helps us feel positive, relaxed, and have a good attitude towards life. Adherence to a diet rich in vegetables and olive oil can also be beneficial, for example, to mental health, which provides some protection against depression and anxiety.
Also, it has been shown that there is a correlation between changes in the microbiota between some mental pathologies due to changes in the normal composition of the microbiota. Probiotics can help to balance brain functions by balancing the intestinal microbiological.
Significance of Physical Exercise: Performing Mindfulness exercises or practicing sports is associated with a lower risk of suffering from mental health. Exercise helps us clarify our thoughts and gives us peace of mind to see occasional stressful situations in perspective. Also, the activities you do that you enjoy increasing your happiness hormones, which provides you with mental well-being.
Avoid turning things around: Sometimes we worry in advance about what’s going on. These situations do us no good and only increase stress. Problems and possible scenarios take us away from the present moment and a calm attitude to life.
You think you feel: Almost everything in this life has a good side, but sometimes exte
al worries stop us from finding it. Taking a positive view of life helps us cope with stress and provides a sense of spiritual peace.
See what you have, not what you are missing. We often focus on things we don’t have that increase the need. Emotional well-being is not about getting things done, being with people, or something special, but knowing how to appreciate and be grateful for what we have around us.
Keep healthy social contact Connect: with family and friends or usually connect with other people. Whether it’s discussing important issues or sharing conce
s, talking to other people will help you get out and leave your worries behind.
The importance of leaving room for emotions: Even though we live in a fast-paced situation, even when things are happening around us, it helps us to find small moments to stop, breathe, and feel how we feel for a moment. It is as important to appreciate moments of joy and happiness as it is to leave room for sorrow.Article author
