World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on October 10th, aiming to raise awareness about the importance of mental well-being. In today’s demanding world, stress and daily pressures can negatively affect our psychology. Approximately 1 in 8 people worldwide (over 970 million individuals) live with a mental disorder. Anxiety and depression are the most common conditions. Prevention and preventive examinations are key tools for taking care of both mental and physical health.
Why Prevention Is the Key to Mental Health
Prevention concerns not only physical health but also mental health. By adopting simple practices in our daily lives, we can protect our balance:
- Preventive medical examinations for the early detection of factors that may affect mental health.
- Counseling and psychological support from mental health professionals, when symptoms such as anxiety, fatigue, or insomnia occur.
- A healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition, exercise, and quality sleep, all of which contribute to overall well-being.
The Role of Diagnostic Examinations in Mental Balance
Our mental state can often be influenced by biological factors that are not easily identifiable without tests. Within the framework of preventive screening, a combination of hematological and biochemical tests can detect:
- Thyroid disorders
- Vitamin deficiencies (e.g., B12, D)
- Anemia or hormonal imbalances
Early detection of such factors can significantly improve quality of life and reduce psychological strain.
