World Mental Health Day Press Release

World Mental Health Day is celebrated annually 10 October. It is supported by the World Health Organization (VOZ) to educate the public about mental health problems.
Mental health is a state of psychological and social well-being, in which a person realizes his capabilities, confronts life's hardships and engages in productive, mindful activities, thereby contributing to the development of society.
Human mental health depends not so much on events, happening in his life (even the most unfavorable), how much of his reaction to them.
Recommendations, to help you cope with anxiety and stress, regaining a sense of joy and confidence.
Look for positive experiences, which will lift your spirits. Treat everything with humor. Proven, that even a simple smile on the face improves a person's immunity, saves from a state of melancholy and anxiety.
Sleep well. Getting enough sleep allows the body and brain to rest, recover and recharge. The ideal sleep duration for an adult should be 7-8 hours a day. There is an opinion, that women need an extra hour of sleep, as they are more emotional.
Say YES to physical activity! When stressed or depressed, it can be difficult to get yourself to move.. One of the reasons is a decrease in the level of production of a hormone - serotonin, who is responsible for the euphoria, happiness and good mood. Many studies have shown, that exercise just increases its production and release, and this is why most people feel so much better. Make it a habit to walk every night. Normal walking for 20 minutes is able to get rid of negative thoughts and give a stream of fresh information.
Minimize communication with people, which you do not like. If Someone Doesn't Add Good Emotions to Your Life, perhaps, he shouldn't be around. Learn to say no to people, that make you feel guilty or overwhelmed. This is how you say yes to your mental health.
Don't play around with artificial stimulants. These include: tobacco, drugs and alcoholic beverages. They have a serious impact on mental health and sleep.. Under no circumstances should psychoactive substances be used to combat stress or depression.. Problems, which you are trying to resolve this way, do not disappear, but add new health and relationship problems.
Try to eat right. Eating a healthy diet can help you cope with negative feelings and boost your strength in cold weather.. Add to your diet:
– red fish (promotes the production of serotonin, the hormone of joy in the brain);
– whole grain: rice, wheat, barley, oat (contain B vitamins that support the nervous system);
– beans, nut, beans (rich in protein, and lentils also replenish iron deficiency in the body);
– almond, Walnut, cashews and peanuts (contain a huge amount of omega 3 fatty acids, iron and phosphorus. These substances are the main constituents of brain cells.);
