Politics

Uncertainty, in any form, can bring about a whole lot of difference. Especially, if it affects an entire nation!

Dirty political scenarios often lead people to a deteriorated lifestyle. From physical discomfort to mental insecurity, there’s a lot for the commoner to figure out. Continual political disturbances in a nation often result in prolonged anxieties and worries among the masses. The future of the nation, being constantly put at risk, appears dark in such situations. The consequences, mostly, are darker and recovery becomes even harder for the worst affected.

However, there are rare times, when elections have good results and people with mental health problems perceive it as a positive sign, like a source of hope.

One good example to prove how a dirty political scenario in a country affects the mental states of its nationals is - Brexit!

Brexit left one-third of the nation’s young people saying their mental health had deteriorated since the vote, which was also shown in a survey conducted by Populus for charity, the Young Women’s Trust. The main reported reasons were leaving the EU, money worries and the cost of housing that made young men and women feel more anxious than ever. With Brexit vote, the youthful optimism in over 4000 18 to 30 year olds in England and Wales, at once, was replaced by worry and anxiety due to financial troubles and uncertainty about the future.
Individuals, mentally affected by bitter political decisions, are encouraged to talk to their family and friends about how they feel and what worries them. If they continue to feel anxious or depressed for a long time, then they must seek professional help and contact a counselor. 

Pollution

The higher the exposure to air pollution, the higher are the anxiety levels experienced. Pollution, shockingly, also has a relation with the crime in that particular region. This is because polluted environment can lead to unethical behavior, encouraging criminal activities. 

Jackson G. Lu of Columbia Business School, in his findings on increased pollution and criminal scenes, says "This research reveals that air pollution may have the potential ethical costs that go beyond its well-known toll on health and the environment."

It is already proven that air pollution affects physical health. In 2015, researchers found a link between air pollution and suicide attempts in middle-aged men, which shows it can also affect the mental health drastically. This results in mental disorders, particularly anxiety, which leads to depression.

Whether they are linked or not, it now clear we are facing two public health emergencies that need more attention. Air pollution, leading to mental health disorders can both prematurely rob us of our lives. Depression is like a black cloud that puts you down from all angles, choking your entire being. And coincidentally or not, pollution can do the same.

After such studies come to surface, researchers conclude that exposure to increased air pollution elevates an individual's feelings of anxiety. And, anxiety is known to correlate with a range of unethical behaviours and depression, which result in a contaminated, crime-stricken, and hopeless nation.

To protect individuals from these health emergencies, the government should start some organizations or communities dealing strictly with the pollution levels, keeping them under check. More organisations that would entirely focus on issues like anxiety and depression are needed. On an individual level, regular exercising, meditation and healthy lifestyle habits can keep you away from these physical and mental health issues.

Relationships

There is a huge contribution of ‘healthy relationships’ in maintaining a ‘healthy nation’. Nowadays, the online dating world offers a fresh way to establishing new relationships and form strong, lasting bonds. There are so many different websites that are helping people around the world in finding their desired partners. Some of them intend to find a partner who shares similar social and cultural background like WhiteDate.Net, a white people only dating platform. This is to protect the natural ethnicity of a particular region.     

In Europe, people believe that sharing a relationship with like-minded partners and having common cultural heritage helps in building romance in harmony. To have more compatibility in a relationship, they prefer to go for a same cultured life partner and form a long-lasting relationship. European men have shown interest in trad wife dating i.e. dating women who make amazing wives and are capable of taking up traditional roles. The aim of white dating sites is to unite men who understand gender roles with women who take pride in following their classic roles. 

This concept will also help in promoting and conserving the European heritage, which is degrading at a faster rate from past few years.  Today’s ultra-modern dating norms have made us forget the etiquette and behaviour patterns needed to maintain any kind of human relationship. Exclusive dating websites, challenging all such norms, are generously helping people to maintain healthy relationships and conserve their ancestral rules by letting them meet with like-minded partners who belong to the same cultural and social background. This will ultimately help in maintaining peaceful and committed relationships and developing healthy romance.

It is true that a lot has been achieved in the past but a lot has been lost too. Today, we live in a poisonous world stricken by the toxins of dirty politics, polluted air and unnatural relationships. Thus, survival is a battle, which is yet to be won. The ultimate goal of a great nation is to become ‘one’ against all odds, erasing all lines between the rural and urban areas, the rich and the poor, the affected and the worst-affected. A healthy nation is that, which can be the best place to live in for one and all.
