White January - an initiative dedicated to mental health An organized mind is a healthy mind! Mental disorders have shown a relevant incidence in Brazil, with diverse impacts: social, productive and financial. Some data demonstrate this: • 11.5 million people have depression (almost 6% of the population); • 18.5 million people have symptoms of depression (almost 9% of the population); • ~70% of Brazilians suffer from some type of stress; • 3rd leading cause of death in people aged 15-35 in Brazil (2014); • In the world, second leading cause among young people aged 15-29 (in 2016). In addition, the impact has a great impact on people's workforce. In 2017, more than 72,000 sick leave claims were registered, according to ANAMAT (National Association of Occupational Medicine) in 2017. Mental and behavioral disorders are causes of absence from work, and include: depression, occupational stress and burnout syndrome. The most important thing at this time is to address the issue and bring awareness to people, to break down some stigmas that were created in the past and that often prevent people from seeking help. There is no problem in talking about the subject; on the contrary, it is highly recommended to express feelings and emotions so that you can conduct your behavior and react in a more mature and controlled manner in different situations in life. More and more people need some type of support regarding mental health, and it is worth noting that access is still limited, in some cases the care is not adequate and there is still the issue of social taboo. According to the Brazilian Psychiatric Association, 20% to 25% of the population may develop depression at some point in their lives. Talking about it is important! In addition to encouraging dialogue, it is important to adopt a healthier lifestyle, including physical activity, meditation, healthy eating, relaxation techniques, reducing anxiety points by better planning daily activities, reevaluating environments, friendships and relationships. Seeking a specialist (psychiatrist or psychologist) is the best alternative to obtain professional guidance on the best way to deal with the situation and get deeper answers.
