Mental Health Matters: Exploring Psychiatry Care

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


We are slowly reaching the epoch where talking about, and getting treatment for mental health issues is no longer considered a taboo. We’re still some way off, though, especially in the developing world. But thanks to social media, and a general sense of awareness, the signs are encouraging.

Mental health challenges don’t often come genetically, instead, they can be triggered by a variety of factors, and could affect anyone, anytime. There are advanced mental health hospitals in Dubai as well as psychiatry hospital Dubai that offer a mix of care and compassion. In this blog, we will be taking a look at some of the most common mental health challenges and how to overcome or at least mitigate their effects.

 

The Tell Tale Signs of Mental Health Struggles

 

Usually, the first sign of mental illness is withdrawal from the activities you love. For instance, if you love playing the guitar, you might tell yourself, what’s the point of me creating melodies? In short, you head off to the lonely path of pessimism. The important thing is, not to brush them off as momentary feelings of emptiness, if you note a recurring pattern.

 

So, if you suspect that you or someone you care about has mental health issues, you’ve already taken the first step by recognizing that something isn’t right. For example, someone may appear unhappy or stressed, see or hear things that do not exist, utilize drugs, or have other cognitive issues.

 

The second step is to seek assistance from a psychiatrist or other mental health professional (such as a psychologist or clinical social worker). Doing these two things can be difficult. But once you do, you may figure out what’s going on and begin to feel better. The sooner you complete it, the better. Mental diseases, like many other physical problems, are typically best treated in their early stages.

 

Where to Seek Mental Health in the UAE?

 

The UAE has set up specialized telephone counseling hotlines as well as emergency services to address mental health patients. You can either call 998 to request an ambulance service or dial 800-11111, which will direct you to Al Amal Psychiatric Hospital.

 

Also, there’s the Taalouf family counseling free phone line: 800623, where experts offer free counseling on how to manage and seek help for mental health challenges.

 

If it is not an emergency, consult your usual doctor. They will examine to ensure that your symptoms are not caused by medicine or an illness. If you are physically fine, they will most likely recommend you to a mental health care expert, who is equipped to address mental health issues. There are several other good hospitals in Dubai, such as Dubai London Hospital, that offer pioneering support and treatment to mental health patients.

 

Mental Health Practitioners: Who are They

 

A number of care providers are either professionally qualified or at least knowledgeable to address mental health issues. They include:

 

Primary Care Doctors
 

These doctors are either MDs or DOs with broad experience treating a wide range of common ailments. They are sometimes referred to as general practitioners.

 

Psychiatrists

 

These are medical doctors (MDs) who focus on the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of mental health conditions as well as psychological disorders. Psychiatrists might prescribe medications as part of their treatment plans. They are also trained in psychotherapy, which is a type of counseling or talk therapy.

 

                Psychologists

 

These specialists are not doctors, although they do have advanced degrees in psychology (PhD or PsyD). They have received training in counseling, psychotherapy, and psychological testing. Except in certain scenarios, they are not permitted to administer medications to treat mental problems.

 

Social Workers

 

These professionals can address counseling and social service requirements. They are trained to identify various forms of mental illnesses and can provide psychotherapy, too.

 

Overcoming Mental Illness

 

While we strongly urge you to take professional help to manage mental health afflictions, there are a few things you can do to achieve some peace and mental clarity.

 

Prioritize your Physical Health

 

Mental health is inextricably linked to how well you are physically. Exercise, such as walking, running, gardening, or anything else that gets you moving, can help to relieve stress. Furthermore, regular exercise boosts your feel-good endorphins and other naturally occurring neuro chemicals. Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is also beneficial.

 

Attend Counseling/Therapy Sessions

 

Therapy may help everyone, including people who do not have a mental health issue. Since the COVID-19 epidemic, many treatment services have gone virtual, making it simpler than ever to attend regular sessions by phone or video chat.

 

Practice Meditation

 

Meditation, which focuses on calming the mind, is another popular stress-management technique. It has been practiced for thousands of years, yet there are new techniques to achieve zen.

 

After taking a break to focus on her own mental health, tennis star Naomi Osaka collaborated with the workplace wellness portal Modern Health last year to narrate free audio meditations. Adults and children can participate in the sessions, which last between one and seven minutes.

 

Absorb Positive Energy

 

This one’s the most important. Make it a habit to surround yourself with people or things that you vibe with. Read books on positivity, run in the mornings, embrace nature, hang out with friends. Basically, do anything that doesn’t sap your positive energy.
