Vadim Gagin, a psychiatrist in the department of psychiatry at the Human Brain Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, says that in order to counteract mental health problems, you need to learn to carefully monitor all your emotions and the emotions of your loved ones. He told socialbites.ca.
“Again, according to statistics, one in four people will experience mental illness in their lifetime. And this applies not just to anxiety and depression, but to other disorders as well. No one is exempt from this, so it is important to learn to monitor your condition. In addition, the level of stigma about going to a psychiatrist and psychotherapist should be reduced.”
In his opinion, it is important to talk about possible problems so that they do not start more difficult processes.
“In terms of the structure of the soul, the nervous system, we are not much different from our distant ancestors. The question is how to work with our feelings and thoughts. I tend to believe that the next generation will be more enlightened in the field of mental health and therefore people will turn to specialists over time. And not even to treat existing problems, but to prevent them in the form of periodic psychotherapy, ”says Gagin.
