THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH FOR GENERATION Z
The condition of the individual's freedom from all forms and symptoms of mental disorders is a definition of mental health. Individual which is said to be mentally healthy is an individual who runs his life (especially adjusts himself in solving the problems encountered) by using his abilities, one of which is the ability to process stress. Mental health cannot be underestimated. Mental health is also important and should be considered as much as physical health. Physical and mental health stability conditions are interrelated and affect. Mental health disorders are not complaints that only come from lineage, but also because of the demands of life that make individuals put into stressful conditions and then have an impact on mental health. Based on Dara Riskesda in 2017, Indonesia has the potential for mental disorders such as anxiety and depression with a percentage of 11.6% of the entire adult population. So, if Indonesia has approximately 150,000,000 then 17,40000 people are suffering from mental emotional disorders (Depkes, 2007). The available data suggests that mental health needs to get attention by providing alternative treatments or appropriate treatment sequences.
Generation Z is a generation that appears after the millennial generation. Generations that can be grouped into generation z are those born in the period 1995 - 2010. Generation Z is a generation that has extraordinary dynamics, why not? They were born with the conditions of globalization and information technology which are continuously developing from day to day. A generation that tends to be nurtured by technology because parents are busy looking for work. A generation that is starting to place less importance on socializing in the real world and is busy gaining popularity in cyberspace. However, this generation is prone to mental disorders. Why? They tend to compare themselves with achievements or things they cannot achieve, but see their friends showing them off in cyberspace. This continuity can interfere with their psychological health when they only focus on comparing themselves and thinking about the achievements of others without being grateful for what they have. Therefore,mental health is the key to the sustainability and sustainability of generation z.
Then, what are the ways to achieve a mentally healthy state? This is the way that I usually apply to myself when facing situations that expose me to conditions that could cause me to experience mental downturn. The thing that I often instill is love yourself first. These are some of my own ways to love yourself.
1. Be grateful
With gratitude, it means that we have accepted what happened to us and are grateful for the grace He has given
2. Pray
Loving ourselves is not only about worldliness, but also about spiritual health, which is our relationship with our Lord.
3. Enjoy hobbies
Doing a hobby means that we make ourselves happy, happy is a part of loving ourselves because it has brought positive things in our feelings and mentality.
4. Forgive your own mistakes
Make peace with personally and try to forgive and apologize for all the mistakes we have done, whether intentional or unintentional.
5. Dare to say no
Rejecting substances for which you are not obligated and giving yourself time to rest are essential to self-love.
6. Believe in yourself
Believing in ourselves means that we believe in the results of hard work, abilities, and strengths that are within us.
7. Ignore what people say that is not positive
Talk that is not important and negative in nature we should ignore it because it will not make any progress for us personally.
8. Expanding social life
Expanding socialization will make friends and get to know various characters, so that we don't feel the most unlucky or feel ourselves alone.
9. Be honest with yourself
Self-love is done if we can be honest with ourselves, be ourselves, and don't make up so that we can be seen by others. Being honest with yourself means that you can accept yourself completely.
10. Make time for vacation
Vacation will produce a feeling of pleasure so that we can create conditions to make us free from all the heavy burdens that we have previously carried for a long time
Mental illness is an issue that often hits the z-generation who live a life with globalization that is currently rife. Dynamic conditions and interpersonal disparities in many ways sometimes make this generation unable to be grateful for what they have got. Mental health needs to be echoed to prevent it. The trick is to instill a love for yourself. Gratitude and other ways can help us achieve mental helath in life. Let's be grateful for what we have, lest we suffer mental illness . That is all from me
