Mental Health

Mental health problems affect one in four of us at some time in our lives. Depression, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and other problems can be triggered by personal and lifestyle pressures, such as bereavement, relationship breakdown, or job loss. They can also be the result of drug or alcohol dependency, illness or long term physical disability.

 

 

Symptoms Of Mental Health

Mental Health refers to how you are thinking and feeling. Some aspects of ‘Good’ Mental health include balanced thinking, healthy emotional experience, coping with stress and managing setbacks well. It involves engaging and enjoying various aspects of life while being resilient through difficult times.

In contrast mental health problems can be defined as the experiencing of distressing psychological symptoms to the extent that normal functioning is seriously impaired. Mental health difficulties can have a detrimental impact on a person’s life affecting their work, leisure, relationships and self-esteem.

Treatment of Mental Health

Physiotherapy has an important role to play in helping those with mental health problems. Research shows that regular exercise affects mood and increases self-esteem. Our Physios are able to assess people & devise a safe, enjoyable exercise and movement programme tailored to their needs, which will help to build their mental and physical well being.

They can also alleviate back pain and other physical symptoms which often accompany mental health problems by teaching relaxation techniques or by using massage and other touch related therapies.
