Have you ever thought about how we form our opinions? We all have opinions. There are times when ours match the majority of people and there are times when we may stand alone in the way we think and feel. There are some opinions that we feel very strongly about and will argue our point and rarely waiver, and there are other things that we feel less strongly about and will concede a point. It is truly a skill to be accepting of opinions that differ from yours. I try to be understanding and accepting of others because I think this world would be quite boring with out differences. The opinions that are the hardest for me to accept are those that are based on ignorance and misinformation. I find that I try to educate the person even if I know that the opinion will not change.
One are that people seem to have opinions about, but are quite uninformed is the area of mental health. There is still stigmas and shame attached to having mental health issues. For some people the fear of being judged by others adds to their mental health disorder by creating a need for treatment of anxiety. This can complicate the life of the person greatly. We all experience anxiety at varying levels during our lifetime. For most people the anxiety comes and goes around a certain event or task that we need to do. For others that have severe symptoms they may require treatment of the anxiety in the form of in-patient or out-patient counseling. The treatment of anxiety is most times dealt with on a one to one or individual counseling session. As people are able to deal with their symptoms of anxiety they may be more open to moving into group sessions. The group sessions are a useful tool in advancing a person through their treatment of anxiety, but it is often too stressful for the person to start in a group session.
Some anxieties can develop into phobias. A phobia is an intense fear that creates such a level of anxiety that the person may cease to function. They will have physical symptoms such as sweating, increased respiration higher blood pressure and increased heart rate. The anxiety may cause a person to panic and act irrationally in order to remove themselves from the source of the fear. Some people are of the opinion that the person can control their fears and only choose to act the way they do to gain attention. The lack of understanding and judgment of people that have mental health issues is very common. People need to try to understand and accept those that are dealing with emotional issues. Mental illness is as natural as physical illness and we all experience periods of mental health concerns at different stages in our lives.
