It is an integral part of overall health and is essential to everyone's well-being. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is defined as a \"state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.\" Thus, overall health cannot be complete without good mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Definition of global health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holistic health encompasses a state of physical, mental, and social well-being. It is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. It reflects a broader, more inclusive approach that takes into account the multiple dimensions of health\u2014whether individual or collective, local or global. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Determinants of mental health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Psychological well-being is influenced by a wide range of socioeconomic, biological, and environmental factors. Among these determinants, working conditions play a crucial role. Stress, workplace pressure, difficult professional relationships, and work-life balance are all factors that can affect an individual's mental health. Furthermore, poverty, social inequalities, and traumatic events can also have a profound impact on mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mental health is a global priority.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the first WHO European Ministerial Conference in Helsinki in 2005, ministers from Member States in the European Region acknowledged that mental health promotion, the prevention of mental disorders, and the provision of treatment, care, and rehabilitation needed to be priorities for Member States. These actions are now integrated into the public health policies of many countries. Recognizing mental health as a major component of overall health marked a decisive turning point in improving care and raising awareness regarding mental health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The impact of mental disorders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mental disorders span a wide spectrum, ranging from mild, temporary issues\u2014such as stress or anxiety\u2014to more severe, chronic, and disabling conditions like major depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Depression, in particular, is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Approximately half of all mental disorders manifest before the age of 14, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention among children and adolescents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-9fbbcc17-cb42-4f63-9f9d-a6634767267b\" href=\"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Presentation-SISM-vierge-pour-organisateurs.pptx\">Discover SIMS: International Mental Health Week<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Presentation-SISM-vierge-pour-organisateurs.pptx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-9fbbcc17-cb42-4f63-9f9d-a6634767267b\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The three dimensions of mental health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mental health can be divided into three main dimensions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Positive mental health<\/strong> This dimension encompasses well-being, personal fulfillment, and the individual's psychological resources. It is reflected in the ability to manage emotions, maintain healthy social relationships, and participate actively in society. Promoting positive mental health is essential for preventing the onset of mental disorders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Psychological distress<\/strong> It is a normal reaction to difficult or trying situations, such as bereavement, a relationship breakdown, or significant stress. This distress can trigger symptoms of anxiety or depression, which are often temporary. However, if it goes undetected or is poorly managed, psychological distress can develop into a more serious mental disorder requiring specialized care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Psychiatric disorders<\/strong> These disorders vary in duration and severity, ranging from mild to highly debilitating. They often require medical care and can have significant consequences, such as disability, premature death, or even discrimination and social exclusion. When left untreated, psychiatric disorders have a major impact on the quality of life of those affected.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semaines-sante-mentale.fr\/\">Visit the Mental Health Week website <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A public health issue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a major public health issue. The prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of mental disorders must be part of a comprehensive approach that integrates physical, mental, and social health dimensions. The mental well-being program aims to improve the population's overall well-being while reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with mental disorders. This cross-cutting approach enables the implementation of targeted actions, ranging from awareness-raising and prevention to the care and reintegration of individuals suffering from mental disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mental health, an essential component of overall health, must be addressed with particular attention to each individual, while taking into account their social and economic environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SISM_WEB_logo_full_color-1024x368.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1753\" style=\"width:193px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SISM_WEB_logo_full_color-1024x368.webp 1024w, https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SISM_WEB_logo_full_color-300x108.webp 300w, https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SISM_WEB_logo_full_color-768x276.webp 768w, https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SISM_WEB_logo_full_color-1536x552.webp 1536w, https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SISM_WEB_logo_full_color-2048x736.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ce travail de d\u00e9finition de la sant\u00e9 mentale a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9 dans le cadre des SISM 2024, par \u00c9milie Sauvaget et Brice Pottier charg\u00e9 de mission \u00e0 la direction sant\u00e9&hellip; <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1752,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1749","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1749"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1749\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1850,"href":"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1749\/revisions\/1850"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/valo.troispetitspoints.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
