Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn and work well, and contribute to their community.

- being confused or unable to complete daily tasks, such as getting to work or cooking a meal
- having persistent thoughts or memories that reappear regularly
- thinking of causing physical harm to themselves or others
- hearing voices

HOMEOPATHY AND MENTAL HEALTH—
- Homeopathy is based on the concept that health is considered a perfect state of harmony of functions in mind –body –life force, illness is often the result of disharmony in these three. Hence, treating the whole person based on mind, body and life force relationship is the main aim.
- The body responds to the way one think, feel, and act. When a person is stressed, anxious, or upset, the body reacts accordingly. For example, a person may develop an increase in blood pressure or a headache, or stomach ulcer after a stressful event.
- Homeopathy promotes that human beings must be treated together, along with all physical and psychological traits to achieve ‘healing,’. Psychological symptoms often play a primary role in the selection of the correct medicine, paving the way for a brighter and more balanced future.
- Homeopathy is very effective in curing and uprooting mental and emotional imbalances. Homeopathic medicines bring about true transformation and create joy in a person.
Commonly used Homeopathic Medicines for Psychological problems are Arsenicum Album, Anacardium, Natrum Muriaticum, Ignatia, Lycopodium, Pulsatilla, Staphisgharia and many more.
