What is Mental Health?
Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences how we think, feel, and behave. It also influences how we manage stress, interact with people, and make healthy decisions. Mental health is vital at all stages of life, from childhood and adolescence to maturity.
Additionally, mental and physical health are both essential components of overall health. For example, depression raises the chance of a variety of physical health issues, particularly long-term illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Similarly, chronic diseases can raise the chance of mental illness.
Also, there are over 200 types of mental illness that you could encounter in your healthcare practice. The training course further outlines the signs and symptoms to be aware of in adult patients and how to care for their specific needs.
Communication is Key
In order to successfully care for any patient in any capacity, your healthcare team must be able to communicate. While there are a variety of care strategies outlined throughout the course, it is important to emphasize how important communication is in providing quality care. Effective communication is a talent that must be developed and refined over time. This ability supports teamwork and fosters excellent patient relationships, which are critical for successful healthcare results.
