Mental health includes a broad range of factors, from emotional and psychological well-being to the ability to handle stress and adapt to life's challenges. It's essential to acknowledge and address mental health concerns just as we would with physical health issues. Seeking help, support, and treatment when needed is crucial for individuals to lead happy and productive lives.
The stigma surrounding mental health issues is slowly decreasing, which is a positive step toward encouraging people to talk about their mental health and seek assistance without fear of judgment. Remember, taking care of your mental health is not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength and self-awareness. It's also essential to support others in their mental health journeys, as we all have a role to play in creating a more compassionate and understanding society.
Absolutely, mental health matters greatly. Mental health is a fundamental aspect of our overall well-being and quality of life. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and it plays a significant role in our ability to cope with stress, build and maintain healthy relationships, and make choices that lead to a fulfilling life.
The cornerstone of someone's mental health is how they think, feel, and behave. Mental health specialists can help people with disorders like addiction, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.
Mental health can have an effect on daily life, interpersonal connections, and physical health.
This connection, nevertheless, also functions the opposite way around. Personal circumstances, social ties, and physical ailments can all have an impact on mental illness. Maintaining
In our country plenty of legal orders interact with mental disorders in order to protect the interests of
mentally ill, society and the state.These legislations are enacted to protect the society from dangerous manifestations of mental illness.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

25. Major Mental Illness
• The major illnesses are called psychoses. Here, the person is
"insane" and out of touch with reality.
Schizophrenia
• Split personality in
which the patient
lives in a dream
world of his own
Manic Depressive
Psychosis
• The symptoms vary
from heights of
excitement to
depths of
depression
Paranoia
• Undue and
extreme suspicion
and a progressive
tendency to regard
the whole world in
a framework of
delusions
26. Minor Mental Illness
Neurosis or Psychoneurosis
• In this the patient is unable to react normally to life situations.
He is not considered "insane" by his associates, but
nevertheless exhibits certain peculiar symptoms such as
morbid fears, compulsions and obsessions
Personality and Character Disorders
• This group of disorders are the legacy of unfortunate
childhood experiences and perceptions.
28. Causes of Mental Ill-health
A. Organic Conditions: Mental illnesses may have their origin
in organic conditions such as cerebral arteriosclerosis,
neoplasms, metabolic diseases, neurological diseases,
endocrine diseases and chronic diseases such as
tuberculosis, leprosy, epilepsy, etc.
B. Heredity: Heredity may be an important factor in some cases
Eg. the child of two schizophrenic parents is 40 times more
likely to develop schizophrenia than is the child of healthy
parents.
29. Causes of Mental Ill-health
C. Social Pathological Causes: To produce any disease, there
must be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
• The social and environmental factors associated with mental ill-health
comprise: worries, anxieties, emotional stress, tension, frustration,
unhappy marriages, broken homes, poverty, industrialization, urbanization,
changing family structure, population mobility, economic insecurity, cruelty,
rejection, neglect and the like.
• The social environment not only determines the individual's attitudes but
also provides the "framework" within which mental health is formulated.
30. Environmental Factors
Carbon disulfide, mercury, manganese,
tin, lead compounds
Toxic substances
Barbiturates, alcohol, griseofulvinPsychotropic drugs
Deficiency of thiamine, pyridoxineNutritional factors
Deficiency of iodineMinerals
31. Environmental Factors
Eg. Measles, rubella – adverse effects
on the child’s brain development
Infective agents
Road and occupational accidentsTraumatic factors
• Nervous system is most sensitive to
radiation during the period of neural
development
Radiation
32. The infant and young child should experience a warm, intimate and continuous relationship with his mother and
father. It is in this relationship where underlies the development of mental health. It follows that broken homes are
likely to produce behaviour disorders in children and this has been confirmed by several studies.
The programmes and practices of the school may satisfy or frustrate the emotional needs of the child. Children
who have emotional problems may need child guidance clinic or psychiatric services. From the standpoint of the
child's mental health and his effectiveness in learning, proper teacher-pupil relationship and climate of the class
room are very important.
The causes of mental illness in the aged are organic conditions of the brain, economic insecurity, lack of a home, poor status and insecurity.
The basic needs of the adolescents are: (a) the need to be needed by others, (b) the need for increasing
independence, (c) the need to achieve adequate adjustment to the opposite sex and (d) the need to rethink the
cherished beliefs of one's elders. The failure to recognize and understand these basic needs may prevent sound
mental development.
Crucial points in our lifecycle
Prenatal period: Pregnancy is a stressful period for some women. They need help
not only for their physical but also emotional needs.
First 5 years of life: The roots of mental health are in early childhood.
School child: Everything that happens in the school affects the mental health of
the child.
Adolescence: The transition from adolescence to manhood is often a stormy one
and fraught with dangers to mental health, manifested in the form of mental ill-
health among the young, and juvenile delinquents in particular.
Old age: The mental health problems of the aged have received considerable
attention in recent times in the developed countries.
33. Needs of man / woman remain the same
The need for
affection
The need for
belonging
The need for
independence
The need for
achievement
The need for
recognition or
approval

a sense of
personal
worth
The need for
self-
actualization
These needs only differ in degree and qualitative importance
at various ages.
