Mental Health Awareness: How to Recogise when Life is in Balance or Imbalance?

Mental health fatigue is a condition triggered by prolonged cognitive activity and it has existed prior to the pandemic. In light of the pandemic, and the extra challenges this brings to the workforce, Marshall E-Learning have launched a CPD certified course to raise awareness of mental health fatigue.

A combination of worries about Covid-19, lockdowns, working from home, home schooling, financial and health concerns as well as gyms and leisure services currently closed, it means mental health fatigue is a real issue.

This video clip from our course explores balance and imbalance in our lives.

Achieving well-being and maintaining mental health involves more than just addressing mental events. Modern UK psychology and psychiatry adopt a multi-faceted approach, considering psychological, social, and biological elements. These elements can impact our well-being differently at different stages of our lives, making it challenging to keep track of our overall balance. With the busyness of daily life, it's easy to overlook the importance of reflecting on our life balance and the impact it has on our mental health over time. Recognizing and addressing imbalances is crucial for maintaining overall well-being.

Video Transcription:

Well-being and mental health are not just a result of mental events that happen purely in our heads. As we have explored, modern clinical psychology and psychiatry in the UK tends to view things through psychological, social and biological lenses. That means that these three elements are important and one may be more important than the others at different times in our lives. Keeping an eye on how we are doing in each of these domains and as a whole is quite difficult for us. That's because we are often busy just getting on with our lives and don't take much time to reflect on how we are spending our weeks, months or years. So it's important to be able to recognise where life is in balance and where there are imbalances that can lead to compromise mental health over time.
