You wake up every morning and follow the same daily routine – dropping the kids off at school, going to work, dealing with a stressful work environment, and getting home, only to deal with a spouse who feels more like a roommate than a romantic partner at this point. You are convinced that any type of change will not be beneficial. You make more than enough money and everyone around you depends on you to keep making that amount of money.
Every day is exactly the same, and you constantly shrug off the depression that looms from this realisation. Since you choose not to seek professional treatment at a psychiatric hospital, your depression keeps on building. At this point in life, you just want to keep it all together for the sake of everyone around you. However, one morning, you wake up, and you do not have any motivation to get out of bed. Your depression presses down on you like gravity, and you have no way out. This is where Beethoven Recovery Centre’s psychiatric hospital is your solution.
Developing a Mental Illness by Merely Being a Responsible Adult
- Dealing with Constant Levels of Stress: According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), more than 60% of adults are currently, or will throughout adulthood, be exposed to unnatural and intense levels of stress. This is even more likely for people living in Gauteng – South Africa’s most densely populated province. Crime, job loss, divorce, and other elements contribute to the stress levels being experienced by adults in this province. Fortunately, our psychiatric hospital is always an option when you feel like you cannot continue.
- Developing Destructive Behavioural Patterns: When stuck in a rut, people tend to seek and find ways to cope with their depression. Most coping mechanisms come in the form of hobbies and finding something that brings them joy or happiness. Some people find ways to express themselves through art, while others find solace in reading or physical activities. However, others turn to vices. Smoking tobacco-based products, drinking alcoholic beverages, and consuming addictive substances are some of the most common types of vices for adults living in Gauteng. This is where the development of destructive behavioural patterns rears its ugly head – leading to behavioural mental disorders and addictions. If you want to break such a cycle, our psychiatric hospital can be your answer.
- Making a Sporadic Life-Changing Decision: In most cases, adults who find themselves “trapped” tend to seek answers online. This can lead to following a proverbial rabbit down a deep and dark rabbit hole. In turn, such an individual tends to behave sporadically and make life-changing decisions on the spot – without considering the consequences of their actions. If such an individual has a family history of mental illness, it will only contribute to such erratic behaviour. At the time, it seems like a good idea to quit your job or file for a divorce. However, after a while, depression sets in once again. This happens because you did not address the root cause of the problem. Our psychiatric hospital can help you identify and overcome such a cause and help you forge a life where you are no longer a puppet to your depression.
- Staying Quiet and Internalising Your Emotions: This is a common trait among adults. Even though you put on a brave face and pretend to be fine, there is something stirring inside of you. Something that, when provoked, will show itself and manifest destructive behaviour. This leads to anger outbursts, treating loved ones with malice, or experiencing a mental breakdown. It is never a good idea to internalise feelings and emotions, as that proverbial bottle can fill up quickly, and the results of it pouring over can be devastating. Our psychiatric hospital provides a safe space for you to process and talk about such feelings and emotions with a professional psychiatrist. As a result, you will actively work through these feelings of despair and find a way to cope with them accordingly.
