A section of society believes that our mental well being should get the same recognition as our physical well being in the public health campaigns. I completely agree with this statement, through this essay I will express my views on this topic.
First of all, we all need to understand the fact that our mental health is as important as our physical health. In addition to this, nowadays people are more ill mentally than physically. This scenario is happening around us due to the fact that we still live with the misconception that mental health can be an ignorable topic but it is absolutely a topic that requires more attention from the general public as well as the media.
If mental health gets the attention in public health campaigns, not only it will raise the awareness among the general public but it will also break the taboo of mental illness and this will also solve an issue further which is that many people and even some communities are not really comfortable talking about this topic. Besides this, in public health campaigns, we will get the correct information and guidance of what one is going through and how to get over it, unlike the pills commercial that guarantees happiness in just a week or ten days.
In a nutshell, mental health is a very important topic and it definitely needs the same attention as our physical health in public health campaigns. Through this, the awareness will be spread on how to take care of our mental health and eventually we will get over several prejudices.
