    The document discusses mental health and its importance. It defines mental health as our emotional, psychological, and social well-being that determines how we think, feel, and act. Mental illness is often caused by inherited factors, life stresses, environment, and health problems. Maintaining good mental health is as important as physical health because they are closely linked. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted people's mental health by increasing stress, anxiety, loneliness, and risk of substance abuse. However, coping strategies like social support, self-care, and finding hobbies can help manage mental illness.

    HOW WE HANDLE STRESS, RELATE TO
    OTHERS, AND MAKE CHOICES. MENTAL

    LIFE, FROM CHILDHOOD AND
    ADOLESCENCE THROUGH ADULTHOOD.​

    • PHYSICAL HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH ARE


    CLOSELY ASSOCIATED AND IT IS PROVED
    BEYOND DOUBT THAT DEPRESSION LEADS TO
    HEART AND VASCULAR DISEASES
    • Mental disorders also affect personal health behaviour
    like eating sensibly, regular exercise, adequate sleep,
    adhering to medical therapies thus increasing the risk
    of physical illness.
    • Mental ill-health also leads to social problems like
    unemployment, broken families, poverty, drug abuse
    and related crime.
    • Poor mental health plays a significant role in
    diminished immune functioning.
    • Medically ill patients with depression have a worse
    outcome than those without.
    • Chronic illnesses like diabetes, cancer, heart disease
    increase the risk of depression

    IMPACT
    OF THE

    C
    SOCIAL JUSTICE CLUB ST EDMUNDS
    9

    AS THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC RAPIDLY


    SWEEPS ACROSS THE WORLD, IT IS
    INCLUDING A CONSIDERABLE DEGREE OF
    FEAR, WORRY, ANXIETY AND CONCERN IN
    THE POPULATION AT LARGE, AND AMONG
    CERTAIN GROUPS IN PARTICULAR, SUCH AS
    OLDER ADULTS, CARE PROVIDERS AND
    PEOPLE WITH UNDERLYING HEALTH
    CONDITIONS.

    SOCIAL JUSTICE CLUB ST EDMUNDS


    10

    IN PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH TERMS, THE


    MAIN PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT TO DATE IS
    ELEVATED RATES OF STRESS OR ANXIETY,
    BUT AS NEW MEASURES AND IMPACTS ARE
    INTRODUCED, ESPECIALLY QUARANTINE
    AND ITS EFFECTS ON MANY PEOPLE'S USUAL
    ACTIVITIES AND CHORES, ROUTINES OR
    LIVELIHOOD - LEVELS OF LONELINESS,
    DEPRESSION, HARMFUL ALCOHOL AND
    DRUG ABUSE, AND SELF-HARM AND
    SUICIDAL BEHAVIOUR HAVE ALSO
    SKYROCKETED.

    OLDER ADULTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN HAVE


    BEEN CONSTANTLY LINKED TO FEAR PSYCHOSIS
    AND ANTICIPATORY ANXIETY REGARDING THEIR
    UNFORESEEN FUTURE. THE PANDEMIC HAS HAD
    A DETRIMENTAL AND AN EXACERBATING EFFECT
    ON OUR MENTAL HEALTH AND INDIRECTLY ON
    YOUR PHYSICAL BEING AS MENTAL HEALTH
    CLICKS ALONG WITH PHYSICAL WELL BEING.
    PEOPLE ARE IN A STATE OF TREPIDATION AS
    THEY ARE IN ASUNDERNESS FROM THEIR NEAR
    AND DEAR ONES.
    Infact, the very term social distancing is an oxymoron in
    itself that we must live up to.
    However, we must not be caught in the epiphany of the
    moment. It is much easier said than done, but we are to
    realise that everybody at this point of their lives are going
    through something same, and no different.
    SOCIAL JUSTICE CLUB ST EDMUNDS
    12

    EVEN THOUGH THE EFFECTS OF THE


    PANDEMIC HAVE BEEN
    AGATHOKAKOLOGICAL, HAVING POSITIVE
    STRIDENT IMPACTS ON NATURE AND WILD
    LIFE, IT HAS MADE US APPREHENSIVE OF
    WHAT HAPPENS OR CAN HAPPEN THE NEXT
    MOMENT. BESIDES THIS, PEOPLE ARE NOW
    ALSO BORED OF THE NEW NORMAL
    ROUTINE THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW.
    HOWEVER, IF NOT FOR THE PANDEMIC, WE
    WOULD HAVE NOT COME TO THE
    REALISATION OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BE
    WITH OUR LOVED ONES AND ALL THAT
    REMAINS IS BEING THANKFUL AND
    SOCIAL JUSTICE CLUB ST EDMUNDS
    GRATEFUL FOR ALL THAT WE HAVE!

    COPING
    STRATEGI

    SOCIAL JUSTICE CLUB


    ES ST EDMUNDS
    14

    THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT METAL


    ILLNESSES SUCH AS DEPRESSION AND
    ANXIETY, COMMON AMONG SCHOOL
    STUDENTS. BUT THERE ARE DIFFERENT
    WAYS TO COPE WITH THESE ILLNESSES.

    SOCIAL JUSTICE CLUB ST EDMUNDS


    15

    SOME HEALTHY COPING STRATEGIES ARE:


    • Take breaks from social media. There can be a lot of
    negativity online so taking a break is a good coping
    mechanism.
    • Taking care of yourself. Eat healthy, exercise, get
    plenty of sleep, and give yourself a break if you feel
    stressed out.
    • Make time to unwind. Try to do some other activities
    you enjoy.
    • Talk to others. Share your problems and how you are
    feeling and coping with a parent, friend, counselor,
    trusted ones etc.
    • Find a hobby. Pick up an instrument, learn a new
    sport, cook, bake. Etc
    • Learn your triggers, triggers are the things that tick or
    cause your depression and anxiety. If you know what
    triggers your depression and anxiety, you can stay
    away from those such.

    SOCIAL JUSTICE CLUB ST EDMUNDS


    16

    THE UN-HEALTHY COPING STRATEGIES ARE:


    • Consumption of intoxicants such as drugs, alcohol,
    cigarettes etc.
    • Over and under eating.
    • Sleeping too late at night.
    • Not making an effort to do homework and other
    activities.
    • Not trying to socialize with others.
    • Skipping classes and school.
