According to the World Health Organization, Health is described as a sum total of wellness. It includes more than absence of diseases. Mental Wellness is highly cherished and appreciated.

Truly, whenever the mental capacity is being challenged, there's serious lacking in that person and hell usually loose break. A lot of consequences often attached to such occurrence.

Although the range and causes often varies. Mental illness pose serious and dangerous effect which offset the whole behavior of the victim.

Personally, I have been troubled many times mentally. For instance, in the year 2008, my girlfriend left me for "wealth" guy which happened to be my bosom friend. She is very pretty and clever girl. We have been friends for long time. We know each other and planned our lives together.

After a silly misunderstanding, we fell apart but to my amusement. She clinged to my best friend after they thought that they are best for each other. They broke my heart as they used my pitfalls for their good relationship.

The trauma was huge on me. I stayed indoors for days and remains for days. Everyone noticed my predicament but their talks and advice can't help me.

Our family psychiatrist works on me for months before I become productive and resourceful because My potential and work output was seriously challenged during my period. All the therapeutic steps was successful passed by me as I became well after a year when I heard that they broke up in the space of two weeks when she found out that their relationship was a mirage.

Although that phase of life has passed away, thinking back makes me very sad. The mental feelings really affect me seriously. I remembered that I was sacked from my job because I lack concentration and failed to be punctual at work because of mental illness.

Finally

Mental illness affects the physical well-being. Everyone should safeguard themselves and be protected from events. Betrayal and other can causes mental illness. There are a lot of things that can make us happy. Let's grab them with both hands and enjoy ourselves.

Thanks so much too. You summarized the post better

This is great

Mental Wellness or Fitness is very important
Living a good life, one needs to be mentally fit, one must stay away from thoughts that paralyzes the mind and pressures.

That's right... Thanks for the response

You were depressed for a short while i do not think that qualifies as a mental illness though and yes we ought to take care of our mental health however mental illness goes beyond broken and high-functioning depression etc.

There are actually conditions such as clinical depression with suicidal tendencies, Alzheimer's, retrograde amnesia etc which are a better depiction of mental illness as compared to poor mental health. Thanks for sharing though and i do hope you are better now

Thanks so much Doc

Awww sorry you had to go through such bad thing from someone you love. Heartbreak can affect someone mentally for real and am glad you are over it now

WOW 😲! People are really wicked. How can they two of them get together when you both are friends. This is really bad. Sha, I believe it was how God want it to be. We learn as we keep advancing in age.
Thanks for sharing

Wow, I thought such stories only existed in the movies, I am so sorry that happened to you, just imagining it alone I am sure was a devastating period for you but as the Bible says, "God will give you double for your trouble."

I know how breakups like that can affect one's mental health, I have had a first-hand experience and I am glad you accepted to work on your mental health and moved on.

Thank God she showed her true character when you both were not bonded together, better so a good lady meant for you, comes your way. "A broken engagement is better than a bad marriage". Perhaps you both are not compatible and yeah the guy too, did not try by accepting to date her, your friend's girlfriend at least he knew you both were dating but notwithstanding I think it was better that way.

Glad you are better.

Thanks so much for your response and support. I'm lifted by such words. Nobody deserves to be treated unfailingly.

Yeah, truly nobody deserves that.

You are welcome

I so love this definition by the world health organization. It's comprehensive. Sadly, many don't consider mental health as sickness.
