JUST HOW TO SPEAK TO PEOPLE

REGARDING MENTAL WELLNESS

ISSUES

Community Matters discusses why community mental health and wellbeing is important in Australia. We're a community mental health journal discussing issues, resources, awareness and definitions.

LOTS OF PEOPLE HESITATE TO DISCUSS SELF-DESTRUCTION AND WHAT DRIVES PEOPLE TO END THEIR OWN LIFE. INDIVIDUALS SHOW SORROW AND SADNESS WITH THEIR BLOG POSTS AND DISCUSS SOCIAL NETWORKS, HOWEVER ARE AFRAID TO DISCUSS THIS CATASTROPHE IN ANY MORE INFORMATION.

WHAT'S REALLY FRIGHTENING IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO DEVOTE SELF-

DESTRUCTION. SELF-DESTRUCTION IS THE 10TH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR

GROWNUPS IN THE USA. THAT'S ONE FATALITY BY SUICIDE EVERY 13 MINS. FOR

TEENAGERS AND YOUNG ADULTS (AGES 10-24), SUICIDE IS THE SECONDLY

LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH.

THESE NUMBERS ARE SHOCKING AND ALSO STAND FOR THE VARIETY OF

DEATHS, NOT THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS TRYING SELF-DESTRUCTION OR

CONSIDERING SUICIDE.

MENTAL HEALTH AUSTRALIA

MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY TREATMENT COURSE THAT CONCENTRATED ON IDENTIFYING

YOUTH WHO REMAIN IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPING BEHAVIOR AND MENTAL

HEALTH AND WELLNESS CONCERNS OR APPROACHING A DILEMMA CIRCUMSTANCE. A LOT

OF YOUNGSTERS ARE MISUNDERSTOOD, BULLIED, ALONE, INCAPABLE TO EXPLAIN WHAT

THEY ARE REALLY FEELING, AND ASHAMED TO REQUEST ASSISTANCE.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO ASSIST?

WHAT'S THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IF YOU BELIEVE SOMEBODY IS

BATTLING OR UPSET? IT'S TRULY EXTREMELY BASIC. ASK THEM IF

THEY HAVE A FEW MINUTES TO SPEAK WITH YOU. PROGRAM THEM

THAT YOU CARE BY EXISTING, CONCENTRATE ON THEM AS WELL AS

ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY NEED TO SAY. DON'T JUDGE

OR MINIMIZE THEIR FEARS AND ISSUES.

WHAT ARE SOME WARNING SIGNS?

THERE ARE MANY SIGNS THAT SOMEBODY MAY GO TO THREAT AND APPROACHING A DILEMMA SCENARIO. THIS

INDICATION MIGHT CONSIST OF SELF-INJURY (EG. CUTTING), DRUG ABUSE, CONSTANT PANIC OR ANXIETY ASSAULTS, DEALT

WITH A TERRIBLE EVENT (E.G ACCIDENT, ASSAULT, MODIFICATIONS IN DOMESTICITY, ETC), EXPERIENCING BEHAVIORAL

ISSUES, AS WELL AS THE MANY INDICATIONS OF CLINICAL DEPRESSION.

WILL I MAKE POINTS WORSE?

IF YOUR GUT REACTION INFORMS YOU THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG, LISTEN TO THAT LITTLE VOICE AS WELL AS OFFER

ASSISTANCE. STUDIES HAVE REVEALED THAT ASKING A PERSON IF THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT HARMING THEMSELVES OR

SELF-DESTRUCTION DOES NOT CAUSE SOMEBODY TO END UP BEING SELF-DESTRUCTIVE. WHAT'S SHOCKING IS THE

NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO TRIED SELF-DESTRUCTION THAT EXPOSED THAT IF EVEN ONE PERSON ASKED IF THEY WERE

THINKING OF ELIMINATING THEMSELVES, THEY NEVER EVER WOULD HAVE MADE THE ATTEMPT. THEY SIMPLY REQUIRED TO

UNDERSTAND THAT SOMEONE TRULY CARED.

WHAT LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?

WE SHOULD ALL LEARN TO BE HELPFUL TO ANYONE DEALING WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. WHILE LOTS

OF PEOPLE THINK THE SERVICE IS EASY - MOST LIKELY TO THE DOCTOR, GET MEDICATION, AND ALSO YOU ARE

'TREATED', THE TRUTH IS IT MAY TAKE A WHILE TO FIND THE IDEAL MEDICATION AT THE APPROPRIATE DOSAGE

TO SUPPLY YOU WITH SOME RELIEF. A THERAPY PLAN MAY ALSO REQUIRE THE BEST KIND OF TREATMENT (E.G.,

COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION, PSYCHOTHERAPY, BIO-FEEDBACK, HYPNOSIS, ETC.), ALTERNATE

TREATMENTS (E.G., ACUPUNCTURE, CHIROPRACTIC. ETC.), AS WELL AS CONCENTRATING ON NOURISHMENT,

EXERCISE, SLEEP, AND TENSION REDUCTION. NOT EVERY OPTION WILL HELP EVERY PERSON, SO THE SECRET IS

TO KEEP TRYING AND DISCOVER WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU.
