Ziqitza: Mental Healthcare for Corporates

 

The pandemic has been horrendous and overworking for our frontline medical workers like Paramedics, Ambulance Operators, Doctors andNurses, but it has also had a depressing effect on the overall workforce of the world.

Many have lost their jobs or are constantly living in the fear of losing one  and have little to no time to relieve their pent-up stress and work from home is adding more to it . Due to offices being shut down and public places being essentially coming to a standstill, mental health problems in the workforce are on the rise.

 

Mental health diseases like depression, narcissism, and schizophrenia were already shooting up due to the practically insane amount of work pressure employees of the 21st century are subjected to, but the pandemic has just spilled kerosene over a raging fire.

It is no doubt that mental health is neglected all around the world and even more laughably so in our country, so Ziqitza Healthcare ltd has incorporated mental health awareness in their corporate wellness programs to help large conglomerate workers and other alike battle disorders like depression. But first, we are  going to discuss What is mental health awareness?Why is it necessary for corporations to include it in their wellness programs? And how does Ziqitza's wellness programs carry out the battle against depression?

What is Mental Health Awareness?

Mental health is an important part of overall health and wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It may also affect how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices during an emergency.It is quite simply appalling to look at the stats of just how much we as people ignore serious illnesses like depression, ADD and schizophrenia only because they don’t show physical symptoms.

Depression alone is undiagnosed and untreated on a massive scale in India. It is estimated that around 85 million people suffer from depression in India, making it the world’s most depressed country. The infamous suicide rate in India is 10.9 for every 10 lakh people and in most cases, the average person is below the age of 44.

What most people tend to get wrong about mental health awareness is that it’s not all about depression. Other disorders like narcissism and schizophrenia are also quite common and often remain undiagnosed. But whatever may be the disease of the brain, it is real and it does affect a human being in a significant way.

Raising mental health awareness is all about making people comfortable with themselves and removing the stigma around mental illnesses. Mental health diseases are sadly still not accepted in our society but the stats about India show that we are utterly ignoring a flaming problem that is hollowing up our people.

Ziqitza Healthcare with its wellness programs provides a Doctor on Call, Medical Room and Doctor at your workplace providing a safe space for employees to open up about problems related to their mental and physical health... Mental health is not the joke we treat it like, it is a serious growing problem that has been festering uncontrollably in the current workforce, and has already claimed a significant chunk of the future’s millennial workforce.

Why corporates should go for Corporate Wellness Programs?

Most corporate wellness programs sought out security for an employee’s physical health, but as mentioned earlier physical and mental wellbeing are of equal importance. Research suggests that uncared mental health can lead to being more damaging than many other physical ailments. Gone are the days where people can indulge in absolute physical toil and ignore their mental health. With today’s rising standards and pressure, especially in a pandemic which  seem to never get over, companies need to look after the mental health of their employees which will also help in increasing employee productivity.

The major reason why people tend to ignore their mind crying out for mental health treatment is that symptoms for mental health can’t be seen in real life other than an expert or a licensed practitioner. It can be caused by several personal or work-related reasons but will ultimately lead to a weakened mental state that can be either explosive or self-destructing down the line. That’s why corporate mental health wellness programs are a necessity for every company that wants to safeguard its workforce in the future.
