External factors affecting mental health

What is affecting mental health?

In the process of learning, growth and development, we will be influenced by the material and non-material environment. An unsafe or unsupported environment will have a negative impact on a person's mental health. On the contrary, a safe and supportive environment can have a positive impact on a person's mental health by increasing his self-esteem or self-awareness. Determining which situations may increase or decrease the possibility of mental health problems will help you identify, plan and create positive mental health.

Social ecological model of development

Macro system: media, policy, environment, economy and culture.

External system: the working environment and community environment of family members.

Meso-system: social organization.

Microsystems: family, peers and school.

Imprisoned environment: we can't choose to be born. Some people are well-off and have no worries about food and clothing, while others reprimand them for their childhood trauma and feel unfair and unhappy all their lives. However, as we grow up, our adaptability to the environment will become stronger and stronger, and we will gradually create our own world, including family, friends and work, whether it is gratitude or hatred.

What we need to know is what we can change, what we can't change, what we will change, discover our strengths and abilities, and accept our shortcomings and limitations. Use them to make swords.
