Mental illness, also called mental health disorders, refers to a wide range of mental health conditions, disorders that affect your thinking, perceptions, mood or behaviour. Mental illness can make it difficult for someone to cope with work, relationships and other demands.Many people have mental health concerns from time to time. But a mental health concern becomes a mental illness when ongoing signs and symptoms cause frequent stress and affect your ability to function.The relationship between stress and mental illness is complex, but it is known that stress can worsen an episode of mental illness. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors.
Mental disorders contribute to a significant load of morbidity and disability, even though few conditions account for an increasing mortality. As per Global Burden of Disease report, mental disorders accounts for 13% of total DALYs lost for Years Lived with Disability (YLD) with depression being the leading cause.From a cultural perspective, mental disorders are associated with a considerable amount of stigma in Indian society, leading to neglect and marginalisation.As of 2015, on a global level, over 322.48 million people worldwide suffer from some form of depressive disorder and as of 2017, more than 14 percent of the total population in India suffer from variations of mental disorders. The majority of this share includes older adult females in India.Projections show that India will suffer massive economic losses owing to mental health conditions especially caused due to the quarantines and lockdowns introduced in the previous year,causing a large amount of stress,anxiety,depression,etc in a significant part of the population.The worst issue amidst all this being the fact that the Indian society does not think mental illness to be a real issue due to which they ignore individuals with such illness and at the same time these individuals family deny them treatment.The lack of recognition and treatment has pushed us to look for alternatives, one of the most effective one being Aromatherapy.Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. Sometimes it’s called essential oil therapy. Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils medicinally to improve the health of the body, mind, and spirit.
