This group is about raising awareness and uplifting the significance of mental health and serenity in our everyday lives. Though genetics can play a big role in mental health, there are many ways that we can help mitigate and prevent deterioration of mental health problems. Currently, Psychiatry is embracing the concept of recovery, applying this to psychiatric care. Education and awareness about ways to maintain our mental health can enhance a resilient and courageous mind and spirit. For instance, refugees have suffered much trauma yet many show incredible mental stamina and emotional strength. What do the more resilient people have and do to maintain a semblance of mental health in such dire circumstances? Many people who had a history of psychosis were able to eventually stabilize with the help of medications and therapy. Meditation has been well-known to facilitate and enhance a sense of well-being that lessens perceived stressors leading to more healthy focus and attention. The importance of sobriety and freedom from drug and alcohol addictions are vital for our mental health and serenity. Noteworthy is the fact that many of those who suffer mental health problems are now incarcerated and others are homeless. Contaminated water and food that cause dehydration and illnesses can affect and destabilize people's mental health. Let us all uplift the importance of mental health and serenity. After all, it is how we think of and perceive the world, that matters. Healthy minds and healthy spirits make a healthy world.
