INTRUDUCTION

1.1 Background

Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the
stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their
community. It is an integral component of health and well-being that underpins our
individual and collective abilities to make decisions, build relationships and shape the
world we live in.(WHO, 2017) Mental health is a basic human right. And it is crucial to
personal, community and socio-economic development. Mental health refers to a person's
emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how people think, feel, and act,
and it also influences how they handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental
health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through
adulthood.
Good mental health is essential for overall well-being and is characterized by a state of
emotional well-being in which an individual can cope with normal life stressors, work
productively, maintain healthy relationships, and contribute to their community. It
involves finding a balance in various aspects of life, including emotional, psychological,
and social factors. On the other hand, mental health problems or mental illnesses are
conditions that affect a person's thinking, feeling, mood, behavior, or a combination of
these. They can be occasional or long-lasting and can impact a person's ability to function
and carry out daily activities. Mental health problems can be caused by various factors,
including genetic predisposition, biological factors, life experiences, or a family history of
mental health problems. Common mental health disorders include anxiety disorders,
mood disorders (such as depression and bipolar disorder), personality disorders, psychotic
disorders (such as schizophrenia), eating disorders, and substance use disorders. It's
important to note that mental health problems are common, and many people experience
them at some point in their lives. Taking care of mental health involves seeking support
when needed, maintaining healthy relationships, practicing self-care, managing stress,
engaging in activities that promote well-being, and seeking professional help if necessary.
Mental health is a crucial aspect of overall health, and it is important to prioritize and take
care of it just as we do with our physical health.

DISCUSSION

2.1 What is mental illness

Mental illness, also known as mental disorders or psychiatric disorders, refers to a
wide range of conditions that affect a person's thinking, emotions, mood, behavior, or a
combination of these. Mental illnesses can cause significant distress and impairment in
functioning, leading to difficulties in daily life activities, relationships, work, and overall
well-being. There are numerous types of mental illnesses, each with its own set of symptoms,
causes, and treatments. Some common mental illnesses include: first is Depression, A mood
disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in
activities, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts
of self-harm or suicide. The second one is Anxiety disorders, A group of disorders that
involve excessive fear, worry, or unease. Examples include generalized anxiety disorder,
panic disorder, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Third is Bipolar disorder,
A mood disorder marked by extreme mood swings, ranging from episodes of elevated and
irritable mood (mania or hypomania) to episodes of depression. Forth Schizophrenia, A
chronic and severe mental disorder characterized by distorted thinking, hallucinations,
delusions, disorganized speech, and impaired social functioning. Fifth is Eating disorders,
Conditions such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder, which
involve unhealthy eating habits and a preoccupation with food, weight, and body image.
Sixth is Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), A disorder that can develop after experiencing
or witnessing a traumatic event, leading to symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety,
and emotional detachment. The seventh is Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
A neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention,
hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development.
mental illnesses are medical conditions and are not a result of personal weakness or
character flaws. They can be influenced by a combination of genetic, biological,
environmental, and psychological factors. Mental illnesses can be effectively treated and
managed through a variety of approaches, including medication, psychotherapy, counseling,
support groups, and lifestyle adjustments. Early intervention, diagnosis, and treatment are
essential for improving outcomes and promoting recovery in individuals with mental
illnesses.

2.2 What is recovery

One of the earliest and most influential descriptions of recovery came out of the consumer
movement. Deegan (1988) defined recovery as both a process and an outcome:
Recovery is a process, a way of life, an attitude, and a way of approaching the day’s
challenges. It is not a perfectly linear process. At times our course is erratic and we falter,
slide back, regroup again, The need is to meet the challenge of the disability and to re-
establish a new and valued sense of integrity and purpose within and beyond the limits of the
disability; the aspiration is to live, work, and love in a community in which one makes a
significant contribution (p15).
Another influential definition was proposed by a leading mental health service provider and
researcher, Anthony (1993):
… a deeply personal, unique process of changing one’s attitudes, values, feelings, goals,
skills, and/or roles. It is a way of living a satisfying, hopeful and contributing life even with
limitations caused by illness. Recovery involves the development of new meaning and
purpose in one’s life as one grows beyond the catastrophic effects of mental illness (p21). In
mental health, the term ‘recovery’ is commonly used to refer to the lived experience of the
person coming to terms with, and overcoming the challenges associated with, having a
mental illness (Shepherd et al 2008). The term ‘recovery’ has evolved as having a special
meaning for mental health service users (Andresen et al 2003) and consistently refers to their
personal experiences and expectations for recovery (Slade et al 2008). On the other hand,
mental health service providers often refer to a ‘recovery’ framework in order to promote
their service (Meehan et al 2008).

2.3 What is the factor that affecting recovery

Recovery among people with mental illness refers to the process of restoring or
improving one's overall well-being and quality of life despite the presence of a mental health
condition. Recovery is a highly individualized and holistic concept that goes beyond mere
symptom reduction. It encompasses various aspects of a person's life, including their
physical, emotional, social, and psychological well-being. The factors that affecting recovery
from people with mental illness. 1. Symptom management, Recovery involves learning
effective strategies to manage and cope with symptoms. This may include medication,
therapy, self-care practices, and lifestyle adjustments to minimize the impact of symptoms on
daily life. 2. Personal empowerment, Recovery focuses on empowering individuals to take an
active role in their own mental health and well-being. It involves developing self-awareness,
self-advocacy skills, and a sense of control over one's life. 3. Hope and optimism, Recovery
emphasizes fostering a sense of hope, optimism, and belief in the possibility of a fulfilling
life despite the challenges posed by mental illness. It involves setting meaningful goals,
developing a positive outlook, and maintaining motivation for personal growth. 4. Supportive
relationships, Building and maintaining supportive relationships is crucial in the recovery
process. This includes having a strong support network of family, friends, peers, and mental
health professionals who provide encouragement, understanding, and empathy. 5. Meaningful
engagement, Recovery involves finding purpose, meaning, and satisfaction in life. This may
include pursuing hobbies, interests, and activities that bring joy and fulfillment, as well as
engaging in work, education, or community involvement. 6. Self-care and wellness,
Recovery emphasizes the importance of self-care practices that promote physical and
emotional well-being. This may involve adopting healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular
exercise, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, stress management techniques, and engaging in
activities that promote relaxation and self-reflection. 7. Resilience and adaptation, Recovery
involves developing resilience and the ability to adapt to challenges and setbacks. It includes
learning from past experiences, developing problem-solving skills, and embracing a flexible
mindset in the face of adversity.
recovery is a unique and ongoing process that varies for each individual. It does not
necessarily mean being completely symptom-free or returning to a pre-illness state. Instead, it
focuses on maximizing one's potential, building a meaningful life, and achieving a sense of
overall well-being while effectively managing the challenges associated with mental illness.
Professional support, such as therapy, medication, and community resources, can play a
significant role in supporting individuals on their recovery journey.

2.4 How to recover from mental illness

The recovery among people with mental illness can be really complicated to suspect because
of the person that really can’t get rid of it, but They considered that an emphasis on
measuring improvement in specific life areas would facilitate clinicians communicating more
clearly with service users about the goals of treatment and psychosocial rehabilitation. Since
recovery principles are now widely promoted by both service users and mental health service
providers, there is an urgent need to elucidate this rhetoric in order to understand what is
meant by the term ‘recovery’, and how this can be operationalised into daily practice by
occupational therapists and other allied health professionals. Adding a recovery framework to
treatment and rehabilitation perspectives is intended to accommodate service user aspirations
that hope, respect and pathways to community participation are incorporated into the daily
activities of psychiatric rehabilitation. Importantly, this requires reframing the treatment
enterprise from the therapist’s perspective to the person’s perspective. This has implications
for how mental health treatment, care and rehabilitation are conceptualised and delivered, and
the degree to which such care is acceptable to, and effective for, the people participating in
mental health rehabilitation (Davidson et al 2006). ‘Rehabilitation’ is also a term that needs
to be differentiated from recovery. Mental health professionals and rehabilitation
professionals typically plan rehabilitation activities that involve targeted interventions to
assist people to acquire and apply new skills, utilise supports and access the resources
required to live a meaningful life in the community of their choice (Mitchell 2003). Service
users, on the other hand, rarely mention rehabilitation, but instead talk about ‘recovery’ as a
complex, non-linear and multidimensional personal process of getting well and getting on
with their lives (Andresen et al 2003). Mental health professionals similarly consider
rehabilitation to be multidimensional and often claim that rehabilitation services are also
provided within a ‘recovery’ framework, perhaps in order to maintain congruence with the
now widely accepted service user perspectives on recovery.
