Q5- What is the difference between ‘Mental health’ and ‘mental illness
Mental illness and Mental Health often cause confusion because the words are used interchangeably as if they mean the same thing, but they are not.
Not everyone has a Mental illness;
Everyone has mental health issues caused by difficult life challenges, trauma, and the inability to cope effectively. But not everyone has a mental illness. Sometimes emotional issues can compromise our psychological well-being.
As the World Health Organization (WHO) states, “There is no health without mental health.”
Q6- What is psychological, spiritual, and emotional well-being?
Life is not easy, it is full of setbacks, trauma, and obstacles that affect our psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Sometimes we suffer silently and struggle internally to overcome the psychological obstacle that blocks us from moving forward in life towards progress.
These struggles can affect our mental well-being (i.e., our mental health)
When we talk about mental health, It is (psychological, spiritual, and emotional well-being) such as our emotional health - thoughts and feelings, our ability to cope and solve problems to overcome life challenges, our social connections, and our relation to the world around us.
It is not for those clients;
Who has severe mental health illnesses such as Bipolar disorder, Borderline personality disorder, drug addictions, or schizophrenia. Clients with severe symptoms have to take treatment with clinical psychologists. They can enroll in the spiritual counseling program in parallel while working with their clinical psychologist or therapists. Clinical Psychologist is a very specialized area of medicine and should NEVER be confused or blended with the role or capacity of spiritual coaching and counseling.
