Education
and mental health:
The
question that arises is how can mental aberration be prevented in school. It
mostly happens that many students particularly children and adolescents cannot
clarify their difficulties and problems so that they require guidance from
their parents, teachers and psychologists.
It is for the guide to understand the adolescent and to
sympathise with him or her and to offer him or her affectionate advice.
Scolding or punishing them is not very effective. They should be given the
opportunity of expressing their decision and mental tendencies.
School
mental health programme:
All the schools are directed to conduct health check up
programme, with the help of the near by primary health centers, with the help
of government as well as non-governmental organisations.
The teachers and the principals are
given health education training by the government of Tamilnadu with the help of
Institute of Public Health Education at Poonamalee every year.
Mental immunity:
Of
all the three aspects of mental health,
1.
Preventive
2.
Perspective
3.
Curative
due care is given to preventive aspects by the family,
school and society. Developing positive thinking, immune response for the
stress related factors in life is an important factor in every day life
Mental health programme in India:
In India there are many problems at
the national level. The solution of which depends considerably on mental
hygiene. One such problem is the communal tension between Hindus and Muslims as
well as other communities.
Yet another problem is the lack of
discipline among students of Universities and colleges. Juvenile delinquency is
primarily a matter of mental disturbance.
In problems involving human relationships there is a mental
aspect into which only mental hygiene has the access. A mentally healthy
individual is one who is himself or herself satisfied, lives peacefully with
his or her neighbours, makes healthy citizens of his or her children and even
after performing these fundamental duties has enough energy left to do
something beneficial to the society.
Possessing mental health, an individual can adjust properly
to his environment and makes the best efforts of his or her own and family and
his or her society' s progress and betterment. The healthy individual can
interpret any new situation and adapt it to suit him or her or adapt him or her
to suit to the new situation.
He or she maintains a healthy and benevolent attitude
towards life. He or she is aware of the difficulties, which with every one has
in his or her life so that running away from them is cowardice. They can be
solved only by squarely facing up to them with courage.
A mentally healthy person evaluates
his or her limits properly, is adjustable, matured, leads a regular and
systematic life, derives satisfaction from chief occupation.
