Introduction
Probably the greatest concern of each countries, whether developed or developing, the health of the citizens. Aside from the issue of population, level of education and its quality, and the economy, the health of the population can be considered as the main factor that received the various impacts of the changes and problem within the country. The fact that there is a great concern regarding the health problems on the population, one major part of the health problems is the trend of the mental health. This is one of the concerns of the health care providers in the US and there are various reasons that predicts to the growth of the mental ill-people. However, based on the concern of the researchers, the reasons present in the country can be assessed.
Problems that Leads to the Mental Health Problems
Various studies show that there is an influence coming from the society and results to the problems in mental health. The social and economic circumstance wherein the individual is enduring causes the psychiatric disorders. The chronic stress of the daily life of an individual can have a great influence on their depression. The stress may come form the working environment, personal relationship, self-doubt, and even in their families. The actions of the people that are in the midst of mental battle is the level of their ability to commit crimes such as drug addition, homicide, suicide, wife and child abuse, violent behavior, mysterious death. In the perspective of the health care worker, it is natural in the society to be associated with the problems but the very best thing that an individual should is focus on how the problems can be resolved and not paying too much attention on the result that will happen. This stress affects the communications within the family and can be the cause of the train of the other problems such like their mental stability.
Trends in Cost, Medicare, and Services
The cost of the enrolling an individual in a mental institution is extremely high. The expenses that the family might incur depend on the kind of service that the institution can deliver. In addition, there is no suggested strong result on the dependency of an individual in the help of the various mental health organizations. Meaning, the institutions can provide the quality of service they want but cannot deliver the positive result at the end of the procedure. Indeed, an individual needs more than medication and that is the feeling that he is loved. People with problem health do not come after the support of their family and even ask for help in the community resources or organizations. But in the view of the experts, the first medication that an individual should take is the care came from their family. Next would be the other form of care such as the aid of the professional health care, medical treatment, general mental health practice, nursing stations, and the community. The professional care is needed; however, the support of the family is also expected by the health care providers for the continuous medication and changes of the patient. It is true that the mental health problem is associated with the social problems that create the individuals inability to perform on their specific roles. But an emphasis on the strong foundation of the family support is the most health care service and medication that are acknowledged by the various professionals.
The emerging concern of the family about cost pertaining to the medicines and services provided by the hospitals and mental institutions drew the interest of the health care department. These various concerns reflected on their action to provide a comprehensive research on the health care and mental health.
Conclusion
It is identified that the cause of the mental disorders of an individual is through the social problems. The psychiatric perspective tends to see the social problems based on the pathology and approaches on the treatment or medication. Consequently, diagnostic schemes and treatment resources or design and directed toward individuals. The level of the medication that is available in the country still in question on how the health care sector can increase the ability of their medicines and services justified its costs.
