Mental Health Awareness and Mental Disorders
The importance of mental health Awareness
As of 2017, more than 792 million people or roughly 10.7% of the global population suffer from mental health disorders. A study released by the Health Ministry in 2018 concluded that Namibia has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, ranked fourth in Africa and eleventh globally. The Covid-19 pandemic only exacerbated this epidemic. If you do not experience mental health issues yourself, you likely know at least one person who does.
Forging Resiliency in Challenging Times
Every challenge you face in life, is an opportunity to build resilience.
Emerging data have shown how significant the impact of the pandemic has been on our well-being. For example, we know that working mothers have experienced extreme levels of hardship through COVID and had to take on more than working dads, regarding household, childcare, and educational needs. A global study of health care workers across 21 countries shows alarmingly high rates of depression, anxiety, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for those working in health care through the first waves of COVID.
4 Benefits of breath awareness and why practicing it matters.
Practising conscious breathing is good for you.
A person typically takes between 17,000 and 30,000 breaths per day, every day. Bring your attention to this normal occurrence for a few minutes daily for health benefits. And, pausing for a 2-minute breathing break is a great way to enjoy a quick refresher in the middle of a hectic day, especially if it’s a work from home day.
