3.  Mental health is defined as a state of well-
being in which every individual realizes his or

stresses of life, can work productively and
fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution

adolescents have mental disorders or
problems

the leading cause of disability worldwide
 About 23% of all years lost because of
disability is caused by mental and substance
use disorders.

6.  3- About 800 000 people commit suicide
every year
 75% of suicides occur in low- and middle-
income countries. Mental disorders and
harmful use of alcohol contribute to many
suicides around the world.

7.  4- Mental disorders are important risk factors
for other diseases, as well as unintentional
and intentional injury
 Mental disorders increase the risk of getting
ill from other diseases such as HIV,
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and vice-
versa.

8.  There is a strong connection between the
mind and body. A 2012 study in Health
Services Research confirmed this
connection, mental distress impair physical
health (for example: sleeping disturbances
and impairing immune functions)

9.  5- Improved Productivity and Financial
Stability
 a study in the American Journal of
Psychiatry found that people suffering from a
serious mental illness earned at least 40
percent less than people in good mental
health.

health and productivity, so it’s not only a
personal matter, it also affect your surrounding

12. In order to improve
population health status
and reduce health
inequalities, it is
important to identify and
understand the main
factors that protect and
promote good health.
These factors are known
as the determinants of
health.

13. Health is determined by a convergence of five
levels:
1. Human Biology
2. Individual life style
3. Social and community influence.
4. Living and working condition
5. General socioeconomic and cultural and
environmental conditions.

14.  It includes those aspects of health (both
mental and physical) which are determined
by the organic structure and physiological
functioning of the human body.

15.  Inheritance plays a part in determining
lifespan, healthiness and the likelihood of
developing certain illnesses.
 The inheritance factors are can be:
 Race

 Inherited Diseases

17.  The social and community factors that have
been shown in a variety of settings to have
the greatest influence on health are:
 Education
 Social cohesion
 social connectedness.

18.  Education has profound health effects.
 More education makes an individual more
aware of healthy and unhealthy choices and
makes it easier to make healthy choices.

health status.

health, more stress and lower self-confidence.

19.  People with strong family, cultural and
community bonds have better health than
people who are socially isolated.

20.  Housing

physical and mental health. High housing costs leave
less money for other budget items essential to good
health including nutritious food, education, and access
to health services.
work
Work can influence health in many ways, including
through links both with health care insurance and with
physically hazardous exposures in the workplace.

determinant of health.In addition to providing
income, employment enhances social status
and improves self-esteem, provides social
contact and a way of participating in community
life, and enhances opportunities for regular
activity, which all help to enhance individual
health and well-being.

22.  Income
 Poverty
 Ethnicity
 Culture
 Environment

23.  Income is the single most important determinant
of health.
 There is a persistent correlation between low
income and poor health.
 the low income leads to the highest rates of
illness and death.
 Adequate income is a prerequisite for many
other determinants of health, for example,
adequate housing, a nutritious diet and
educational opportunities.

24.  Poverty has long been recognized as an
important determinant of ill health.
 People who are poor have worse self-
reported health, higher rates of disability, and
higher rates of death, disease and injury.

25.  The Physical Environment :
 The quality of air.water safety.
 Food safety.
 Drugs and other chemicals products.
 Waste disposal.

 The radiation.

26. Health is determined by a convergence of five
levels:
1. Human Biology

4. Living and working condition
5. General socioeconomic and cultural and
environmental conditions.

excessive stress due to a particular situation or
series of events. As with cancer, diabetes and
heart disease, mental illnesses are often
physical as well as emotional and
psychological.

environmental stresses, genetic factors,
biochemical imbalances, or a combination of

depression was in “eighth place in low-income countries, but at first place
in middle- and high-income countries.”1
 Significantly greater percentages of lifetime major depression have been
reported among women (11.7%) than men (5.6%).3
 Examining ethnic differences reveals lifetime percentages of depression of
6.52% among whites and 4.57% among blacks and 5.17% among
Hispanics.4

53.  Biochemistry: Differences in certain chemicals in the brain may
contribute to symptoms of depression.
 Genetics: Depression can run in families. For example, if one
identical twin has depression, the other has a 70 percent chance of
having the illness sometime in life.
 Personality: People with low self-esteem, who are easily
overwhelmed by stress, or who are generally pessimistic appear to
be more likely to experience depression.

54.  Personality: People with low self-esteem, who are easily
overwhelmed by stress, or who are generally pessimistic appear to
be more likely to experience depression.
 Environmental factors: Continuous exposure to violence, neglect,
abuse or poverty may make some people more vulnerable to
depression.

 or “talk therapy,” is
sometimes used alone

depression; for moderate
to severe depression,
psychotherapy is often
used in along with
antidepressant
medications.

produce some
improvement within the
first week or two of use.
Full benefits may not be
seen for two to three
months. .

experience symptoms - or progress through Alzheimer's stages -
differently.

maximally effective

73.  _ primary
 ■ Universal prevention:
 targeting the general public or a whole population group.
 ■ Selective prevention:
 targeting individuals or subgroups of the population whose risk
of developing a mental disorder is significantly higher than that
of the rest of the population.
 ■ Indicated prevention:
 targeting persons at high-risk for mental disorders.
 _Secondary
