Mental health, Mental health problems and Mental illness

 Mental health is emotional well-being to how we think, feel, behave, react and interact. Mental health problem is the situation, the problem the person is facing whether it is money, relationship breaks up, deaths of people they know, etc. For many of us, this is hard to understand even for those who go through it, believe it or not, it is even possible to feel negative for no reason at all, which really when it comes to the cause is Mental illness the person's faces, which in some cases if it's anything could be down to loneliness, doing things too much, not doing things enough, such as sleep, eating, etc or it could no reason all. Many would say snap out of it, this is not easy for everyone, and is not someone else place to tell someone to do that, this is something they work on in their own, time but ask for help if or when they choose to.  However, there is no wrong in trying to offer the person positives such as asking them what they enjoy, which may be hobbies, careers, study, favorite music, band film, etc, no matter why they may be feeling negative, may work for some not others, depending them, the situation, etc. Only cause it may not work for them, doesn't mean you have failed, they just may find their own way of coping, etc, the best is all you do. My advice is,  what do with my clients, ofter, raise awareness, suggest things, etc;  but don't do anything unless they ask.  

 What it may be. Mental illness is such mental illnesses as Anxiety, Depression, etc, which affect the emotions of how the person feels, thinks behaves, etc even more so, whatever mental illness they may face is likely to be more sensitive to the situation than what other people maybe. Where it drives them to behave in ways others may not except or and understand for eg; self-harm, thoughts of suicide, a lot of alcohol, a lot of drugs, etc.

  They may someone may advise them to get support, could be getting in touch with a mental health charity or service, etc. Mental health - NHS (www.nhs.uk) Mental health is not an easy subject, it's always best to let a person know you are looking out for them, you hear to talk to if they want to talk, don't them to talk or some people may not want to put on other people whether they know them or, which can be very concerning, where what is bothering them could increase, etc, then no one should force them to talk either. What is concerning is for whatever reason of their own, most people struggle to open up for whatever reason, they may choose to talk to someone they know, or don't know, and it can be concerning whether or not they talk to anyone.  It is hard to know what people are thinking and feeling, even if they seem happy etc. Concerning thing is as well we never know with some people for those mainly who seem to feel okay but doesn't necessarily mean to say that they are okay, which is not easy to know when to say anything or when not to, in case we make things worse, we only know if they say but they shouldn't be forced to either.  About mental health problems | Mental Health Foundation
