Challenges in Establishing Best Practices to Deal with Mental Health issues

The challenge with establishing best practices for mental health is that mental health is often compared unlike physical well-being and the patient is made to feel weak.

For example, if you have a flu, it is understood that you are unwell and you need rest.

But if you say you are mentally stressed and need a break, your condition is often compared to others.

You will hear things like "Look at X, Y, Z or myself for instance, I also have a hectic schedule and I probably do more work than you. Chin up! Be strong. How come you are stressed with something as little as this"

But like phsycial abilities, mental abilities also seems to be different among people.

While some can handle extreme stress and some can't.

We need to understand that a common standard parameters could be difficult as mental health is relative person to person.
