The terms “mental health” and “mental illness” are frequently being used as if they connote the same meaning, but they actually do not. Every single one of us have mental health, the same way that we all have physical health. And throughout the course of our lives, not all individuals would go on to experience having a mental illness, but at least in one point of our lives, every single one of us would eventually come to a point where we struggle or face challenges with our mental well-being (a.k.a., our mental health), and this is fairly comparable to when we would all have challenges with our physical health from time to time, so let’s dive deeper into understanding what this really means.
To most people, psychiatrists, psychologists and counselors tend to conjure up the same imagery. That it is a mental-health professional talking to a client while the client is on the couch. While it is not completely wrong, it is not completely true either. Psychiatrists, psychologists and counselors are all trained to understand and help with emotional issues, but however, there remains a huge difference between the three professions.
Have you ever felt like every time you try to take one step forward, you end up taking two steps back? Or do you ever find yourself having negative thoughts about your ability to reach your goals? And most importantly, do you unknowingly find yourself engaging in self-defeating behaviours that keep you from growing?
