Your body is where you live and your mind is where your thoughts live, wander, and grow hence directing your body. The health of your mind or mental health is as important as your physical health. We often fail to understand the same and end up ignoring mental health and well-being or giving it as much attention as physical health. Just like the health of your heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, gut, and all other systems are important, so is the case with your brain. Your mental health deserves attention and care. While mental health care is different from how we take care of physical health, it is necessary.
As per Jamanetwork’s online study, almost 8 million people die every year due to mental health disorders. Of these, a major portion of patients commit suicide, making it the 4th major cause of death, especially among the youth, states a report by the World Health Organisation in 2021. People often choose to remain silent because of the stigma around mental illness. Some of the common major mental disorders that people suffer include depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, BPD, PTSD, sleep disorders, eating disorders, and so on.
The brain functions based on a set of waves. Behaviors, thoughts, and emotions are communicated using the brain waves between neurons. These waves are named alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and theta. Brainwaves transmit at different paces, some are fast and some are slow. These waves transmit even when you are sleeping. These waves are measured in Hertz. There is a change in the pace or the frequency of these waves that are often indicative of a mental disorder.
We now know that it is important to monitor brain waves and ensure the healthy functioning of the mind for better living. But how does one identify if there is an issue with their mental health? How are mental illnesses or any slight issues detected? Once detected, how does one bring their mind back on track? What are the remedies for mental disorders?
Well, the answer to all these questions is the Neuphony Headband and the Neuphony Mobile Application. To elaborate on the same, let us give you the following example:
