For many, these are exciting times. They can also be times of stress and apprehension, however. I some cases if not recognized and managed, these feeling can lead to mental illness. 

Prevention begins with a better understanding

Prevention beings with being aware of and understanding the early warning signs and symptoms of mental illness. 
 Parents and teacher can help build life skills of children and adolescents to help them cope with everyday challenges at home and at school. Psychosocial support can be provided in school and other community setting and of course training for health workers to enable them to detect and manage mental health disorders can be put in place, improved or expanded. 

 Investment by the government and the involvement of the social, health and education sectors in comprehensive, integrated, evidence-based programmes for the mental health of young people is essential. This investment should be linked to programmes to raise awareness among adolescents and young adults of ways to look after their mental health and to help peers, parents, and teachers know to support their friends, children, and students. 

Mental health & Homeopathy

 Homeopathy gives great importance to mental health both in the treatment of physical and mental illness. The homeopathy understanding of health is intimately connected to its understanding of the mind in general. They generally assume that body and mind are dynamically interconnectedness of body and mind is not simply a vague, impractical concept. Homeopaths base virtually every homeopathic prescription on the physical and psychological symptoms of the sick person. Psychological symptoms often play a primary role in the selection of the correct medicine. 

  Homeopathy is based on the philosophy of treating the whole person based on mind, body, and life force relationship. In this concept, health is considered a perfect state of harmony of functions in the mind, and body life force and illness is often the result of disharmony. The disharmony can come from a dysfunction in anyone. Holistic healthcare believes that a dysfunction in one affects the whole person and not just that one part of the body. Holism promotes that human beings must be treated together to achieve healing rather than simply treating a person for a specific illness. Holistic health looks into the need of the sick and provides customized care.
