Knowing Your Own Mind
Mental health and how to maintain it is more of an enigma than mental illness and psychological disorder; considerable research has been undertaken into major psychiatric conditions but less into factors that protect us from emotional disturbance.
Life is a series of challenges for most people. Some individuals endure catastrophic life events and suffer lasting trauma and emotional damage. Others develop serious depressive illness – but for reasons that are as much a mystery to them as to medical science!
Another more resilient group seem to be able to cope – in spite of facing tremendous personal obstacles. Personality factors influence the way we deal with the world and other people as do: lifestyle, general health, body chemistry, nutrition and issues from our past.
