Recognizing and Addressing the Mental Health Challenges of Parents | Solh Wellness

The effects of mental illness on emotion, thought, and behaviour are felt in many facets of life. Since it is treatable, seeing a doctor is imperative. No matter what their age, gender, financial level, race, religion, or sexual orientation, anyone can acquire a mental disorder. Detection and treatment at an early stage can help people have happy lives.

Parents must address their mental health issues because parenting can be stressful. The following mental health conditions are frequently present in them:

Anxiety: A few causes of anxiety include stress due to finances, interpersonal problems, or the worry that one is not a good parent. Parents may find it difficult to remain calm and patient when their kids are anxious. The parents' persistent worry and apprehension may make it difficult for them to make decisions and concentrate on their children's needs.

Depression: It may be challenging for depressed parents to completely interact with their kids and enjoy routine activities. Depression, pessimism, and worthlessness can affect the bond between parents and children. As a result, parents could find it difficult to emotionally relate to their spouses and kids. It could also lead to harsh or negligent parenting methods. 

Postpartum Depression: Some mothers may have postpartum depression after giving birth. The primary emotions linked to this condition are sadness, anxiety, and weariness. It may be difficult for the mother to care for and bond with her newborn because this illness may interrupt the mother-baby bonding process. Postpartum depression can affect a mother's ability to be emotionally present and attentive to her child's needs, which may also have an impact on the mother's overall parenting experience. 

Stress: Parenting while juggling a number of obligations, such as work, finances, and domestic chores, may be very exhausting. Anxiety can cause physical and mental stress, which can interfere with a parent's ability to handle the tasks of being a parent. Stress can make people irritable, impatient, and distracted, which makes it more challenging for parents to give their kids a safe and secure atmosphere.

To be the greatest parents we can be for our kids, we need to take care of their own mental health as parents. When people tend to their emotional needs, they are able to have more satisfying interactions with their children and are better parents. Parents should prioritise their own mental health because doing so promotes the general development and happiness of their children. 

So that they can care for themselves, parents can do the following:

Be honest with your kids: Being upfront and transparent with your children is essential when addressing your difficulties with mental illness, so do so. Even if you don't have to go into detail, letting them know you need help and are struggling will help them to empathise and give you more confidence.

Model healthy coping skills: Children learn by imitation, therefore as their parent, you can set an excellent example for them by demonstrating appropriate coping techniques. Teach children constructive ways to unwind, manage stress, and express their emotions. They will be able to improve their own emotional stability and resilience by exhibiting these traits.

If necessary, seek expert assistance: If necessary, seek professional assistance. In the event that managing your mental health difficulties gets difficult, don't be afraid to ask for help. Specialists in mental health, such as therapists or counsellors, can offer helpful direction and support that is catered to your requirements.

Look after yourself: Every parent should practise self-care, but those with mental health issues need to do so much more. Give getting enough sleep, eating a healthy food, and exercising frequently a high priority. Spend time engaging in rejuvenating activities.

Be patient with yourself:  Be kind to yourself and, if required, seek out professional assistance. In the event that managing your mental health difficulties gets difficult, don't be afraid to ask for help. Specialists in mental health, such as therapists or counsellors, can offer helpful direction and support that is catered to your requirements.

Get a support system in place:  Every parent should practise self-care, but those with mental health issues need to do so much more. Give getting enough sleep, eating a healthy food, and exercising frequently a high priority. Spend time engaging in rejuvenating activities.

Never be afraid to seek assistance: Never hesitate to ask for help; be kind to yourself. Ensure your own wellbeing. Recovery and managing one's mental health require work and patience. Be nice to yourself and understand that change might not happen right away. Maintain your commitment to getting better; eventually, you will see results.

Take breaks if you're feeling overwhelmed: If you're feeling overburdened, take breaks: Make contact with people who are knowledgeable about your disease, such as close friends, relatives, or support organisations. With the aid of a strong support network, individuals can enjoy a sense of community and have a private space in which to share their experiences.

I see you disabled people who don't know your family medical history because your family members couldn't/wouldn't/weren't allowed to go to the doctor and never got diagnosed, or don't know your family.

I see you disabled people who didn't know you were disabled growing up, physically or mentally, maybe because your parents didn't have insurance and couldn't afford it/wouldn't take you seriously/didn't think it was a problem because they had it/doctors couldn't figure it out.

I see you disabled people who have bouts of an issue that you grew up with, that are/were infrequent enough that you never really thought about it and dealt with it on your own, and when you have one in front of people who weren't medically neglected, you wonder why they look so horrified as you describe it.

I see you disabled people who didn't/haven't had any amount of care or accommodation for their disability since it started, because you couldn't get diagnosed.

I see you disabled people who grew up thinking everyone had the same problem as you and that it was normal and so you accepted it, because you didn't understand how the human body worked and had no real frame of reference nor the language to ask for help, or the people around you saw it and just ignored it.

I see you disabled people only now understanding that what you experience is abnormal, and that there are things that can be done to help it, make it easier, or at least help you understand yourself better.

I see you disabled people that will never be able to get diagnosed or get the help you need, whether from being poor, lacking insurance, or any number of reasons.

This shit is hard, and there are people who will never quite understand your struggles. It doesn't seem to get talked about as much, but I wish it was. Please know I love you, and you aren't alone.

Friendly reminder that antipsychotics don't cure schizophrenia. They don't even treat schizophrenia fully. They only treat the psychotic symptoms aka the positive symptoms. (And lots of people on antipsychotics don't have all their psychotic symptoms disappear, sometimes it only helps a little bit). Meanwhile our negative and cognitive symptoms cannot be treated fully (or at all depending on the person) with medication, and they greatly affect our lives and tend to get more severe as we age. So please don't assume that a schizophrenic person on antipsychotics is basically not mentally ill anymore cause there's a shit ton more we have to deal with on a daily basis, even if our psychosis is treated and no longer affecting us.

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.

It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

I hate missing the people who have probably forgotten about me. I hate it because they’ve moved on or forgotten but I haven’t. I dream about the day we coincidentally meet but I can only dream so much. there needs to be a day where I come to my senses and realize no one’s coming for me, no one cares, and no one will miss me like I miss them.

*through tears* I BELONG HERE. ON THIS EARTH AMONG OTHERS. I BELONG JUST AS MUCH AS THE NEXT PERSON. I DESERVE TO BE ALIVE. I AM JUST AS GOOD AND BAD AS EVERYONE ELSE. I DESERVE TO BE LOVED. I DESERVE TO BE FREE.

Btw for anyone who needs to hear it: thinking that people are reading your mind/your thoughts are being heard by everyone is not normal. It's a symptom of psychosis and could be linked to a psychiatric disorder. This, too, goes with hallucinations.

This may seem like a no-brainer, but to teens who don't know what symptoms look like, they may jog it off for a number of reasons. I did, too, when I was in highschool! As a freshman I was having delusions/hallucinations and I didn't tell anyone because I thought they were cringe and weird. I chalked up my hallucinations to me being "tired". People who have psychosis often don't realize that what they're experiencing IS psychosis. This goes the same with other classmates/friends/loved ones. If someone comes to you with concerning behavior (even if they are joking about it) you should take note of it.

In highschool I remember a kid talking about how he could go into the matrix and he had a whole other world to protect/do missions in. He would also go still for long periods of time randomly. I thought he was weird and didn't think much of it, but those are symptoms of schizophrenia (delusions/catatonia).

I would appreciate it if this got a reblog so it could potentially help those recognize these symptoms in either themselves or others!

I wish I could have seen a post like this when I was younger. Then I could have avoided a lot of hardships and would have gotten treatment a lot sooner

Do any other social folks on the schizophrenia spectrum also feel like they don’t know how to “people” after an episode?

It’s so strange to look back on how social I was when my symptoms were less severe and how (almost) outgoing I was

Now I’m not even sure how to talk to close friends and am just awkward. I lost my conversation skills :(
