Mental health is a state of mind in which someone can manage the tensions of their life, work productively, and contribute to their community. For these reasons, it is essential to the personal development of each person.
First of all, here in Spain, the government has made a plan to protect emotional wellbeing called the Mental Health Strategy 2024-2026. Some of its objectives are to help people with those problems so they can reduce their symptoms and go back to living a normal life at their work, school, and friend group. All of this is a unique process between the patient and the doctors that encourage them to achieve all of these improvements.
In addition, this strategy fights to stop the stigmatization of people who had or are currently having these kinds of problems and prevent the most vulnerable from getting addicted to any substances.
All of these things will be achieved by actions like the creation of a telephone number, 024, which will be operative at all hours of the day. The service is confidential and free so people with suicidal thoughts can call to get help.
Furthermore, this strategy has a budget of 100 million euros to pay for the therapists, the psychologists, psychiatrists, other health professionals, treatments, and equipment.
To sum up, every day, emotional well-being is getting the acknowledgement that it really needs so our society and, most importantly, the people in it can develop positively.
