Strange Facts About Mental Health That You Need To Know
With impressive advancements in medical science and treatment of mental illnesses, there still remains the mystery of what makes our mind react the way it does sometimes. The question of whether the consciousness gives rise to the brain or the other way round has eluded medical researchers and spiritual scholars alike.
Understanding the subconscious, dreams and related aspects pertaining to the human mind have still remained a mystery in the larger sense of brain functioning. With this heightened uncertainty that has muddled understanding in its truest sense, it is only natural that certain obscure and bizarre facts about mental health exist today.
Not everything they say is true, especially when it concerns the human mind. So here are some strange facts about mental health that you'd really want to know, for knowing these facts will certainly help change your perception about mental health.
Let us look at some facts about mental health. These facts are sure to make you evolve a sense of understanding that is rid of irrationality.
The
incidence
of
mental
illnesses
in
the
current
era:
This
is
a
strange
fact
about
mental
health
that
will
indisputably
make
you
ruminate
about
the
tendencies
of
the
human
mind.
Research
studies
have
indicated
that
a
whopping
20
percent
of
the
population,
especially
adolescents
and
youth,
suffer
from
some
sort
of
mental
imbalance
or
the
other
-
in
most
cases
to
a
minute
extent.
Also,
at
least
50
percent
of
adults
have
experienced
some
form
of
imbalance
in
their
lives.
This,
owing
to
altering
structures
of
the
brain,
is
mostly
stimulated
by
environmental
interactions.
Stress
shrinks
brain
size
This
is
among
one
of
the
most
important
facts
about
mental
health.
It
is
believed
that
only
injuries
to
the
brain
and
certain
neuronal
problems
lead
to
mental
dysfunction.
It
is
important
to
understand
that
even
the
most
common
aspects
such
as
stress
can
affect
the
brain.
Stress
reduces
brain
size
and
this
goes
on
to
create
several
other
complications.
Basically, out brain comprises several chemicals that help maintain its normal functioning. But when the brain comes under immeasurable stress, these chemicals are caused to be released uncontrollably, inevitably resulting in reduction of brain size.
Most
health
conditions
are
due
to
environmental
complications:
Although
the
most
severe
forms
of
mental
illness
can
be
associated
with
neuronal
and
genetic
irregularities,
they
do
not
discount
environmental
factors.
Common
conditions
such
as
depression
and
anxiety
are
mostly
due
to
environmental
influences.
Social
factors
and
their
role
in
the
nerve
health:
There
is
this
component
called
myelin
that
helps
insulate
nerve
fibres
and
allow
for
proper
transmission
of
essential
brain
signals.
It
is
ascertained
that
environmental
factors
and
social
isolations
can
cause
myelin
production
to
get
impaired.
This
can
further
lead
to
several
mental
complications
such
as
anxiety,
depression
and
psychosis.
The
Korsakoff's
syndrome:
The
Korsakoff's
syndrome
is
a
very
interesting
disorder.
It
is
caused
due
to
a
deficiency
of
the
Vitamin
B1
in
the
body,
mostly
due
to
alcoholism
which
breeds
malabsorption
of
essential
minerals
and
vitamins.
In
this
condition,
patients
are
known
to
make
up
stories
and
lies
for
no
obvious
reason.
Interestingly,
they
don't
believe
they
are
lying.
They
actually
believe
what
they
are
saying
is
true.
