A person’s likes, dislikes and wishes change and evolve with
time according to which, they make noticeable changes in their
lifestyle. This relentless quest to fulfil new wishes and growing
needs has pushed human kind to a never-ending hunt for
resources and money at the expense of their lifestyle and mental
health. This distorted work-life balance has severely
hampered mental well-being. People are trapped in
comparison, longing to earn more, to have all
materialistic comforts, competition with everyone they
know, debts, inflation, mortgages, loneliness, growing lack
of empathy, pollution, junk food, poor health and several other reasons are
responsible for approximately 15 -20 % population of the world being consumed by
some sort of mental illness.
Human life is no longer a simple life. In today’s world even, a small child goes through
a lot of mental stress but we often don’t take
notice of it. Materialistic accomplishments may
fulfil our lives in a physical sense, but the quest
for this may lead to many mental problems and
lack of happiness after a while. When mental
health is hampered, one is unable to enjoy
anything in their lives, that’s why mental health
matters so much. One fine example is the
distorted mental health of most of the famous
personalities who have everything- from fame,
money, family, agents, privileges, etc., but still find no happiness in their lives.
