Eliminating StigmaThe Role of Open Communication in Improving Mental Health
This is a Response to the Kesehatan wikithon
Mental health is a condition where a person can realize their potential. Many people view mental health disorders as something shameful. This stigma can be in the form of discrimination and indifference to mental problems. This causes someone to be reluctant to seek help because they feel ashamed, inferior, and feel isolated. Creating an environment that supports mental health through open communication is a very important and positive approach. Open communication makes it possible for each individual to feel heard, appreciated, and understood. There are several reasons why open communication is important in supporting mental health. First, increasing social support. An environment with open communication creates strong social support from family, friends and other individuals. Second, eliminating social stigma. When someone feels safe to talk about their feelings, their experiences make many people more comfortable talking about their mental health and seeking the help they need. Third, increasing individual understanding and empathy. With open communication, individuals can understand the experiences and struggles of others which can foster empathy so that they can create an inclusive environment. Fourth, identifying early problems, open communication allows early detection related to mental problems, so that prevention can be done more quickly to prevent serious problems. Fifth, encouraging joint problem solving that allows for solutions related to problems that occur to find solutions related to mental problems. Sixth, providing a sense of security and comfort. When someone feels comfortable to talk about their feelings, the problems they face create an emotional connection.
