Mental Health: A Mirror Of Inner Strength
Mental health is essential in order to lead a more fulfilling life. Gender medicine and epigenetics play an important role in this. There are incontrovertible facts that we need to understand and accept in order to make smarter choices for our well-being. Expert Gerhard J. Mandalka, founder of a consulting firm for Body & Mind and a health center explains, what to do.
When we talk about mental health and its solutions, we must take into account the unique characteristics that distinguish women and men. Every emotion triggers physical reactions through the activation of corresponding hormones. The sum of these emotions changes our epigenetics and therefore our resilience.
Just because our body rewards us with a release of dopamine does not necessarily mean that it is good for us. Conversely, pain merely signals changes in our body, which can also occur when imbalances are eliminated. We can’t always trust our perception!
The ectoderm and mental health
Our nerves, skin, brain, sensory organs and adrenal medulla originate from the ectoderm, one of the three basic cell groups in our body. A mental health solution should therefore address all areas of the ectoderm, as this area is responsible for the reception and processing of signals within us.
The WHO definition of mental health is: “A state of well-being in which a person is able to fulfill their abilities, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and contribute to their community. “ This definition covers four key areas:
Well-being
Personal performance
Coping with normal life stresses
Contribution to the community
Stress – the invisible enemy
When we talk about mental health, we also need to talk about stress. Stress is not a mere description, but usually a negative evaluation of a situation and therefore unsuitable for initiating positive changes. The word stress should always be illuminated by concrete descriptions so that we can recognize what we are reacting to with stress.
It is not the situations themselves, but our evaluation of these situations that causes stress!
If we are frequently stressed, we are operating in an environment for which we have too few resources or too little security. Inner security is the antagonist of stress, and for this we need sufficient physical, cognitive and social resources in the respective situation. When we feel safe, we have time to react to external signals and do not need the immediate activation chains of stress.… weiterlesen
