    Mental illness affects 70-80% of the population and causes disturbances in thinking, behavior, and ability to cope with life's demands. Only half of sufferers receive treatment due to stigma around mental health issues. This stigma stems from a lack of education and negative stereotypes. Untreated mental illness can lead to poorer performance and increased suicide risk. Mental health is influenced by one's upbringing, relationships, trauma, loss, feelings of lack of love or acceptance, discrimination, unhealthy lifestyles, work stress, social exclusion, and abuse - making these people vulnerable. To promote mental wellness, a supportive, respectful environment that protects individual rights is needed, as maintained mental health relies on respected rights. Governments

    MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS: TRANSFORMING HOW WE UNDERSTAND AND RESPOND

    Mental illness is a physical illness of the brain and is currently affecting seventy to eighty
    percent of the population. This, illness causes disturbance in the way the affected thinks,
    behave and act which makes difficult for them to cope with daily demands of life. Half of
    the mental health sufferers receive treatment, mostly because of ‘stigma’ attached to
    mental health, if left untreated may lead to poorer performance and increase the risk of
    suicide. Stigma against mental illness is still powerful, mostly because of the lack of
    education about mental health and mental disorder. Negative stigmas tend to get attached
    by people toward mental health conditions and mainly because of stereotypes and social
    norms. Stigma and misinformation are an overwhelming obstacle for those struggling with
    mental illness.
    Mental health can also be triggered by how one was brought up or by the type of people
    they surround themselves with, by the way they see, treat, and feel about their self. People
    who suffers from mental illness may have had a rough childhood, that may have
    traumatized them and cause depression, which could have manifested over time, if was left
    untreated. Children who suffers depression during childhood to adulthood experiences
    either physical or mental abuse or both. There are also people who has a feeling of guilt,
    pain and suffering for a longer period because of the loss of parent or sibling. They find
    ways to adjust and cope with the critical changes of their life. People who feel that they are
    unloved, being an outcast of the society or not being accepted by family, friends, and the
    people around them can also trigger mental health problem. Everyone in the society has a
    role to play to make an individual feel that he or she is loved, safe and secure. Developing
    positive relationship to the mentally ill through good interaction and communication will
    somehow help them cope with their mental health problem. Those people who suffer from
    gender discrimination, physical ill-health, sexual violence, unhealthy lifestyle (e.g. drugs
    and alcohol abuse), stressful work conditions, social exclusion and emotional abuse are
    vulnerable to mental health problems.
    To improve psychological well-being and promote mental health, a supportive
    environment and trustworthy people are needed. A supportive environment also means an
    environment that protect and respects individual differences, cultural rights, and socio-
    economic status. It is difficult for an individual to maintain mental health if his or her
    individual rights is not respected. Thus, the government and nongovernmental policies
    must focus on the mental health of everyone especially nowadays. Educate and inform the
    people, so that they will engage in their own mental health and get the right treatment if
    needed.
