In terms of mental illness, there are many terms to describe mental and emotional states. One such term, “psychological diarrhoea” may seem unusual at first, but it accurately describes a common experience many individuals have in their daily lives. In this blog, we will explore what mental concussion entails, its causes, side effects, and most importantly, how to cope better.
What is a mental tumor?
Like its physical counterpart, mental concussion refers to a constant flow of thoughts, ideas, worries, and emotions that invade the mind. It is characterized by an inability to control or filter the stream of consciousness, mental chaos, and feelings of fatigue.
Causes of depression:
Stress and anxiety: Increased levels of stress or anxiety can trigger a mental epileptic seizure as the mind becomes loaded with anxiety, fear, and states of what might happen
Overstimulation: Constant exposure to digital devices, social media, media, and information overload can overwhelm the brain, leading to depression.
Perfectionism: The relentless pursuit of perfection and the fear of making mistakes can lead to over-thinking and over-analysis, exacerbating the mental blisters
Lack of focus: Being present in the present without using mindfulness can cause the mind to wander out of control, resulting in mental turmoil
Effects of psychosis:
Decreased productivity: When the mind is consumed by non-stop thoughts, it becomes difficult to focus on tasks, leading to decreased productivity.
Increased anxiety: Mental blisters often trigger and overwhelm feelings of anxiety, creating a cycle of negative emotions that can be difficult to break
Poor decision-making: Failure to organize and prioritize ideas can undermine decision-making and lead to impulsive or irrational decisions.
Physical Symptoms: Chronic psychosis can manifest in physical symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, and difficulty sleeping
Strategies for coping with mental diarrhoea:
Mindfulness and meditation: Incorporate mindfulness practices and meditation into your daily routine to gain insight and calm the mind.
Limit information consumption: Set boundaries around digital consumption and take regular breaks from screens to reduce overstimulation.
Journaling: Write down your thoughts and feelings as a way to help clear your mind and track and process them.
Deep Breathing Exercises: Use deep breathing techniques to activate the body’s relaxation response and calm the mind.
Ask for help: If mental health is difficult, reach out to friends, family, or a mental health professional for guidance for help.
Conclusion:
Mental diarrhoea is a common yet often overlooked phenomenon that can significantly impact mental well-being and overall quality of life. By understanding its causes, and effects, and implementing coping strategies, individuals can regain control over their thoughts and emotions, leading to greater clarity, peace, and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Remember, it’s okay to seek help and support when needed, and prioritizing mental health is essential for living a fulfilling and balanced life
