About mental health I strongly believe that poverty is one of the strongest causes that influence negatively our mental health. The reason is poverty doesn't allow the person to have the basic needs, such good sleep, nutritional food , safety and other things. When you have to look every time for those things, you become anxious, stressful, worried, and sick. At the moment you became sick you can not look for help with doctors or psychologist, especially if you live in countries that the public health don't provide a properly healthcare. Another factor is a poor physical health. Health is not only the lack of illness but a balance between mind and body in all aspects. As we know from the biological part of mental health the chemical par of our brain is very important , so what we eat, the kind of exercises we do and the way we see our body is extremely important to balance the neurotransmitter and hormones in our body. If you suffer from obesity, fatigue, poor nutrition, sedentary, the chances that you are going to evolve a mental diseases is high. You have to take care of your body and mind the same time. Finally, another factor that can influence negatively your mental health is the environment that you are in. The kind of education you had, the family you lived, if you have attention and love during while growing. This is about the social part of your life and it's intricately relationated with psychological issues of your future life. This is about the individual but the society too. Mental health diseases sometimes sound like epidemics of generations. In crisis times people tend to develop anxiety, the rates of suicide tend to grow. Or in the technology times, of online relationships people tend to be more depressed and to feel loneliness. For a 22 girl living in a country in development it's hard to find a strategy for those problems. But beginning with the poverty I believe that social government programs that provides education, housing and work can reduce the rates of mental diseases caused by poverty. Once you provide the basic needs for a person is easier to think deeper in other psychological problems and to resolve them. When you have a place to live, work, education it's time to look for your physical health, another time the government has a important rule providing free nutritious food in schools and universities, free exercises in the city and campaigns on physical health.

I think that people poor cannot change their statement because their first obstacle is ignorance and they have not free access to school. No choice

I would like to correct this, but it's much too long! It requires a lot of work. Please post a shorter entry, Obrigado!
