The Importance of Maintaining Mental Health When Work Stress Hits<\/a><\/h3>
The workplace is an environment that can impact mental health in many ways. For many people, work is an important part of their lives, but the pressure and stress of work can take a toll on mental health. Therefore, it is important to recognize the signs of stress and know how to manage work stress to maintain mental health. \nWork stress is a physical and emotional reaction that occurs when job demands exceed one's capabilities. This condition can be caused by many factors, including time pressure, excessive responsibility, interpersonal conflict, or job uncertainty. In fact, prolonged and untreated work stress can have a detrimental effect on mental health. \n\n The effect of work stress on health \n\n Work stress without realizing it can become a burden on a person's mind so that it has a bad impact on health. Symptoms of excessive stress that need to be watched out for include heart rhythm disturbances, nausea, vomiting, trembling, sweating, dry mouth, chest pain, headaches, abdominal pain, and muscle pain. . These physical symptoms are caused by increased nerve impulse activity from the brain to other parts of the body, as well as the release of the hormone adrenaline into the blood in response to stress. \n\n If left unchecked, work stress can lead to physical health problems (such as thinning hair, ulcers, acne, asthma, diabetes, stomach pain and cardiovascular disease), mental health problems (such as sleep disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders and depression) and an increased risk of workplace accidents. \n\n Adverse health effects of work stress \n\n As long as the workload is sufficient, most people can handle work pressure well. For example, using workload as motivation to learn and work more effectively. However, if the workload is too much, it will lead to work stress which can have a negative impact on workers' lives, including their health and relationships with their families. \n\n Workers with excessive workloads tend to have higher blood pressure than workers with normal workloads (up to 8 hours/day). If this condition persists, high blood pressure can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (such as heart attack, diabetes, and stroke). \n\n Steps in controlling work stress \n\n - Adjust the physical and mental workload to the capabilities of each individual. \n\n - Adjusting work schedules according to the needs of duties and responsibilities outside of work \n\n - Create opportunities for career development or advancement opportunities based on specific skills and competencies \n\n - Seek a healthy social environment in the workplace \n\n - Conduct a stress risk assessment \n\n - Create a comfortable work environment \n\n - Reflect and relax \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

To the point of wanting to hurt her baby, what happens to mothers with baby blues?<\/a><\/h3>
The process of pregnancy and childbirth is a very emotional one; for some and most people, it is a happy moment. Mothers who are pregnant, of course, feel very happy and look forward to the arrival of their baby. However, for some people, it turns out to be a difficult experience. They feel overwhelmed and find it difficult to adapt to a new environment, resulting in several emotional disorders ranging from mild to severe. One of the emotional disorders that mothers often experience after giving birth is Baby Blues Syndrome, or, in medical terms, Postpartum Syndrome. Baby Blues Syndrome is the mildest emotional mental disorder for mothers after giving birth. \n\n \n\n Symptoms of Baby Blues Syndrome \nIn the early days after giving birth, the mother will usually feel happy with the presence of her baby, but a few moments later, the mother will feel overwhelmed and burdened, feeling that she is not good enough to be a mother. Apart from that, mothers will usually feel irritable, get tired quickly, and experience sleep disturbances. Some even experience a decrease in appetite. \n\n \n\n Baby blues syndrome usually occurs 3–4 days after delivery; usually, on the 10th day, there will be improvement. After two weeks, the symptoms usually disappear. If these symptoms have not disappeared for more than two weeks, then you need to be careful because it is possible that postpartum depression could arise, which is an emotional disorder that is more severe than baby blues syndrome and requires more intensive attention. In conditions like this, mothers should immediately consult professional staff, whether general practitioners, psychiatrists, or psychologists. \n\n \n\n Baby blues syndrome is caused by several risk factors, including hormonal disorders, a lack of rest, and a previous history of emotional mental disorders such as depression. Baby Blues is one of the predictive factors for postpartum depression, which is a psychiatric emergency or an emergency condition in psychiatry. Prevention can be done by providing education to expectant mothers. In other words, the support of those closest to you, such as your partner and family, is also important for mothers who experience baby blues so that they don't fall into postpartum depression. Apart from that, don't feel afraid or embarrassed to consult a psychiatrist or psychologist. \n\n \n\n Hermina friends, listen to Dr. Nina Masdiani, Sp.KJ, read more about baby blues syndrome on the Hermina Hospitals Youtube channel (click here). \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Suicide Cases Rising: Trend or Serious Problem?<\/a><\/h3>
Suicidal feelings can mean having abstract thoughts about ending your life or feeling that people would be better off without you. Or it can mean thinking about methods of suicide or making clear plans to take your own life. Suicide is complex, and there are many factors that might lead a person to experience suicidal thoughts or behaviours. Suicidal ideation can be the result of psychological, social, environmental or situational factors. \n\n No one can predict who will take their own life. But there are some risk factors to look out for, which can include: \n\n \n Stressful life events, such as financial or legal problems, or a relationship breakdown \n Bereavement \n Physical illness \n Current mental illness, such as depression \n A history of mental illness or a previous suicide attempt \n Misusing drugs or alcohol more than the person normally would \n Poor living conditions, homelessness or poverty \n Family violence or sexual assault or abuse \n \n\n Suicide in children and teenagers can follow stressful life events. What a young person sees as serious and insurmountable may seem minor to an adult — such as problems in school or the loss of a friendship. In some cases, a child or teen may feel suicidal due to certain life circumstances that he or she may not want to talk about, such as: \n\n \n Having a psychiatric disorder, including depression \n Loss or conflict with close friends or family members \n History of physical or sexual abuse \n Problems with alcohol or drugs \n Physical or medical issues, for example, becoming pregnant or having a sexually transmitted infection \n Being the victim of bullying \n Being uncertain of sexual orientation \n Reading or hearing an account of suicide or knowing a peer who died by suicide \n \n\n If you have concerns about a friend or family member, asking about suicidal thoughts and intentions is the best way to identify risk. \n\n Suicide, taking your own life, is a tragic reaction to stressful life situations — and all the more tragic because suicide can be prevented. Whether you're considering suicide or know someone who feels suicidal, learn suicide warning signs and how to reach out for immediate help and professional treatment. You may save a life — your own or someone else's. \n\n To help keep yourself from feeling suicidal: \n\n \n Get the treatment you need. If you don't treat the underlying cause, your suicidal thoughts are likely to return. You may feel embarrassed to seek treatment for mental health problems, but getting the right treatment for depression, substance misuse or another underlying problem will make you feel better about life — and help keep you safe. \n Establish your support network. It may be hard to talk about suicidal feelings, and your friends and family may not fully understand why you feel the way you do. Reach out anyway, and make sure the people who care about you know what's going on and are there when you need them. You may also want to get help from your place of worship, support groups or other community resources. Feeling connected and supported can help reduce suicide risk. \n Remember, suicidal feelings are temporary. If you feel hopeless or that life's not worth living anymore, remember that treatment can help you regain your perspective — and life will get better. Take one step at a time and don't act impulsively. \n \n\n Your psychiatric may do a physical exam, tests and in-depth questioning about your mental and physical health to help determine what may be causing your suicidal thinking and to determine the best treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Condition What is it?<\/a><\/h3>
Do you look in the mirror and become fixated on a pimple or a scar or other flaw that you perceive on your skin? Or do you worry that your nose looks weird - or that some other part of your body looks flawed or defective? \n\n Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a distinct mental disorder in which a person is preoccupied with an imagined physical defect or a minor defect that others often cannot see. As a result, people with this disorder see themselves as "ugly" and often avoid social exposure or turn to plastic surgery to try to improve their appearance. \n\n When these thoughts and feelings become time-consuming and cause significant emotional distress (such as anxiety, sadness, or self-consciousness) and/or significant problems in your daily life — this is body dysmorphic disorder. In addition, at some point, people with BDD also engage in excessive repetitive compulsive behaviors (such as comparing with others or excessively checking mirrors or grooming) in response to the appearance concerns. \n\n BDD is a chronic (long-term) disorder that affects men and women equally. It usually begins during the teen years or early adulthood. \n\n BDD affects how you see yourself and feel about your appearance, and its symptoms can take many forms. Some of the most common include (but aren’t limited to): \n\n \n Spending excessive amounts of time thinking about at least one thing about your body you think is a “flaw” or “defect,” even though others say it isn’t significant or don’t notice it. This can also cause you to compare your appearance to how other people look. \n Feeling compelled to repeatedly look at or check your appearance (using a mirror, a reflective surface like a window or asking others for feedback). On the other hand, some people may actively avoid being in photos or seeing their reflection to avoid the distress they feel seeing their own appearance. \n Changing your appearance frequently (tanning, changing your hairstyle, changing clothes, etc.). \n Frequently taking selfies (photos of yourself you take with a smartphone) to check your appearance, or using apps/photo filters to hide or change things you don’t like about your appearance. \n Feeling fear or anxiety because you think others are staring, judging or making fun of the things you don’t like about your body or appearance. Some people experience panic attacks when looking at things they don’t like about their bodies in a mirror or reflective surface. \n Feeling shame or disgust about your body or appearance, especially the specific things you think are problems. Some of the most common words people with BDD use to describe themselves or parts of their body include “ugly,” “hideous,” “deformed,” “abnormal,” “defective” or “unattractive.” \n Compulsive grooming behaviors that become harmful, such as plucking or pulling hairs (trichotillomania) or picking at your skin (dermatillomania). These are separate mental health conditions that are distinct from BDD, and they have different treatment approaches. \n Avoiding situations where people might notice the things you don’t like about yourself. This can disrupt your work or school activities, or cause you to avoid social gatherings. \n Repeated medical procedures, such as cosmetic surgery, to try to “fix” the things you don’t like about your appearance. \n Thoughts of self-harm or suicide because of your appearance. \n \n\n If you experiences symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder, hurts himself or others, is excessively worried about his appearance, immediately contact your favorite doctor. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Manage Your Emotions and Improve Your Mood<\/a><\/h3>
Emotion management is a set of skills that can help react constructively to people or events. Learning how to manage your emotions can benefit your career by helping you make rational choices and develop relationships with other people. Improving your emotional management skills may take time and effort, but it can have positive results in your professional life. \n\n So what are the best strategies for managing emotions? And how do we avoid reactive outbursts and manage emotions effectively in the moment? \n\n \n Smile to make yourself feel good. Find a mirror, make it fun. If it doesn't feel right at first, you'll soon be laughing at yourself and feeling better naturally. The muscles we use to smile tell our brain that we are happy. Do it for at least 30 seconds. \n Smile to make others feel good. Create that connection, open communication, trigger positive brain cells that make us experience empathy for others. \n Get up and move. hopping. It is important to activate our lymph nodes to remove toxins from our body. Movement so that blood flow more smoothly and make happy hormones come out. Again, this will tell our brain that we are happy and make us feel better. Get up from your desk regularly. \n Check with body. Do a body scan. Note where you hold the tension and your overall physiology. Relate these tensions and changes to the emotions you're feeling to begin to understand where and how different emotions affect you. \n Relieve tension physically. If you feel tension in your arm, shake your arm; if you feel tightness in your chest, stretch it, and expand it or take a few deep breaths. \n Breathing. Take 6 deep diaphragmatic breaths. Our body cannot sustain anger through deep breathing. Let the lower lungs have oxygen to pass through your body and brain. It will calm you down and flood you with oxygen. You may be tickled. Do it for at least 60 seconds. \n Talk to someone. Express your feelings to begin resolving the situation. Confide with friends or colleagues instead of suppressing emotions. \n Let go and re-engage emotions. Park challenging emotions to deal with later instead of just avoiding them. Acknowledge and accept those feelings and then use your emotional intelligence to help generate more rewarding emotions. \n Label your emotions. The part of the brain that can label or name emotions is the same part that 'feels' those emotions. Labeling has been shown to reduce intensity. Just by saying "I feel angry" you are actually feeling less angry. \n Label emotions for others. We can often disarm emotionally charged situations by acknowledging what people are feeling. “I sense you are angry; can you tell me how you feel?” This encourages others to consider and label their emotions more accurately: "Yes, I feel angry" or "No, I'm not angry, I'm annoyed." \n \n\n Understand that both negative and positive emotions matter. \n\n Humans love to express joy and love. But, it seems like the right thing to get rid of negative emotions. Hermina Friends may have been brought up with the notion that showing anger, embarrassment, or frustration is not okay, so Hermina Friends get rid of these feelings. \n\n Suppressing Hermina's Friend's emotions won't make it go away—in fact, it will most likely only get worse. Repressed emotions can contribute to mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression. \n\n Psychotherapy, which is essentially treatment with psychological means such as behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy and relaxation, is also very much needed. Psychotherapy has been scientifically proven to be able to help the patient's healing process and be able to overcome patient problems when the patient is no longer taking medication. \n\n So don't be afraid to go to a psychiatrist for a consultation. One important thing to remember is that mental disorders, be it schizophrenia, depression or anxiety that are not handled properly will cause brain damage. This situation can make people who suffer from it experience a severe decline in thinking function. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How can people be Kleptomaniac? Read the explanation<\/a><\/h3>
Kleptomania is a persistent psychological disorder, in which an individual (children & young adults) has a strong urge to steal something from someone else's house, shop, mall etc without any special need for the object. The stolen goods may haveminor value, also kleptomaniacs do not steal for personal gain or has intention to harm anyone. Kleptomaniacs steal to calm the stress, anxiety and tension they felt before stealing. \n\n It is rarely seen in adults over the age of 50. This disorder can be treated by consultation of a psychologist. Cognitive behavioral therapy is seen as the most effective treatment option for kleptomaniacs. \n\n Like many other mental disorders, Kleptomania begins with an inability to control one's own behavior. A teenager with kleptomania cannot control the urge to perform actions that may harm themselves or others. The urge to steal is often too strong for them to resist. \n\n People with kleptomania may face arrest, trial, and detention as a result of their symptoms. One clinical patient study found that more than 68% of those with kleptomania had been arrested for stealing. Having a relative with the disorder, or a head injury, or suffering from mood disorders, eating disorders, and obsessive compulsive disorder makes one more vulnerable to this condition. But not everybody who steals on an impulse can be called a kleptomaniac. Psychologists have a list of criteria that has to be met before they brand someone a kleptomaniac. \n\n Symptoms of Kleptomania \n\n 1. Repeated impulse to steal \n\n 2. Increased sense of pressure before stealing \n\n 3. Stolen objects have minor value \n\n 4. Feelings of relief, pleasure, and satisfaction when an object is stolen \n\n 5. Pathological lies \n\n 6. Theft cannot be explained by other distractions \n\n Kleptomania can occur alone, but it often occurs with other conditions as well. People with this condition may be prone to substance use and anxiety, as well as other related disorders with impulse control. Some other disorders that can occur together with kleptomania include: \n\n • Mood disorders \n\n • Panic disorder \n\n • Separation anxiety disorder \n\n • Body dysmorphic disorder \n\n • Anxiety disorders \n\n Seeing a psychiatrist does not mean that you have gone mad or lost your function as a human being. On the contrary, by following the signs above to go to a psychiatrist, a person can prevent himself from developing mental disorders and continue to carry out as a human being. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
