Mental and Physical Wellness

tangerine asked:


I have heard of situations in which mental health professionals have treated clients whom they personally disliked. If a counselor, psychiatrist, psychologist, or social worker actually dislikes a client, does he/she really have any business treating that person? After all, doesn’t a client have the right to be treated by a professional who has his/her best interests at heart and actually cares about his/her welfare?

I’ve been physically active since high school (Track Team). I looked around me then and saw all the fat, unhealthy looking people, and even though maintaining a good diet and exercise regimen can be tough, I developed my own strategy. What do you think? If I am going to skip working out or think about eating junk food or fatty food, I imagine myself fat and ugly and unhealthy. I have powerful visual imagery, so when I imagine myself like that, I can almost feel it. That way, whenever, I might be tempted to do something unhealthful–eating junk or skipping exercise, I just picture the consequences and I get motivated. Anyone try this or think it could help them?

I have mental health problems and I have to deal with people judging me without getting to know me. I don’t think it’s fair that people treat others so badly. It hurts my feellings.

I think I might have mild-moderate depression, and there is someone at the college where I go who does mental health evaluations, and then I guess decides whether they’re going to refer you to someone. I’m just wondering how this works, its doesn’t sound like a therapy session kind of thing, it sounds like a get to the point kind of thing, what do I need to prepared to answer and say? Thank you.

I am just curious about the opinions of those in Yahoo Answers of what mental health hospital is best in this country. My vote would go to Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinc. They have great facilities, treatment, doctors, and staff. I spent a month and a half there and it was great.

We can usually agree about what physical health is.

We can sometimes agree about what mental health is (not always).

What does spiritual health look like and how do you attain it?

Sami Lynn asked:


For years I’ve been healthy. Very rarely got sick except little head colds and what not.

I’m a senior in HS. And within the last year or so I’ve been getting very sick. Recently I just got over Strep and now I have a bad cold.

Do you think my body(spirit) is trying to tell me something?
or
Do you think it’s all in my head, and I’m just getting everything that passes in the air?
