The Importance of Family Support in Mental Wellbeing: The Im-pact of Dependency, Disharmony, and Inability to Address Men-tal Health Issues
Isi Artikel Utama
Abstrak
This study examines the relationship between family support and individual mental health, focusing on the phenomena of over-reliance on family support, disharmony within the family, and the family's inability to recognize or address mental health problems. Family support plays an important role in an individual's mental and emotional wellbeing, but over-reliance can worsen psychological conditions in the long-term. Family disharmony, which includes conflict or domestic violence, negatively impacts an individual's mental health, triggering psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The family's inability to recognize and address the mental health issues of family members can worsen their psychological condition, as uncaring or unaware families often ignore early symptoms of mental disorders. This study emphasizes the importance of family awareness of mental health, to prevent more serious mental health problems and improve individual wellbeing. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide insights for better interventions to support the mental wellbeing of family members, as well as encourage families to seek professional help early on.
