Mental illness is the leading cause of disability around the world. Five of the ten main causes of disability in the world are mental disorders. Deteriorated mental health contributes to physical illness and disparity with prevention and treatment programs. Mental illnesses also contribute to suicide, which is the tenth cause of death in the world.
The value of ineffective coping with mental disorders in some country arises from: - unrealized production of people with mental illnesses who are unable to work; - reduced labor productivity of people who are sick and working at the same time; - the value of accidents caused by people with psychological disorders; - unemployment, alienation and crime among young people whose childhood problems have not been given a good enough approach and so they have been unable to benefit from their education; - the value of the improper approach to the consequences of dyslexia, low mental retardation and other special educational needs in childhood; - poor development of cognitive abilities in children with mentally ill parents.
Mental health is an essential component of general health. The World Health Organization defines health as a "state of physical, mental and social well-being". Mental health is the result of various predisposing factors, contributing factors, social support and individual resources and experiences. An important role is played by socio-economic factors, such as education, work, income distribution and the household. Mental health refers to the positive feeling of well-being and belief in our own values and the dignity and worth of others. Positive mental health includes the ability to perceive, grasp and interpret the environment, adapt to it, and, if necessary, change it, think and talk and communicate with one another.
Mental health also affects our ability to cope with change, transition, and life events. Psychic health is achieved through the quality of interaction with others, social structures and resources, and cultural values. Mental health is influenced, elevated, and threatened by families and schools, on the street and in the workplace - where people can feel secure, respected.
