Here Is How Poetry Has Given a Powerful Voice to Mental Health
Mental health is subjected to a great deal of stigmatization and misunderstandings. Our society has not developed a firm grasp on the dilemma of mental health problems which continues to affect sufferers in very appalling ways. Having little or no awareness regarding mental health has sprung many issues and ignorance is a profound reason why human beings fail to cope up with mental health diseases and disorders. In the modern age, mental health is being consistently addressed on the grounds of awareness and providing help to the sufferers and potential sufferers. The sole agenda is to groom awareness, develop complete grasp, offer help and reach a breakthrough.
Research and development on the subject have outpoured different ways people with mental illnesses can seek help. Therapy, counseling sessions, prescription drugs, all have advanced to reach progressive results in defeating mental health problems in people around the world. Apart from the dimensions of medical science, various forms of therapy have sought and a much sought-after one remains poetry.
Poetry makes a difference in the following ways:
Empowers people – Composing poetic scripts empowers people to speak up and take liberty with words. Some brilliant minded poets have stunned the world with their scripts once they came into contact with their deepest feelings in the heart and jotted them into words.
A modern day example of a successful poet remains Arch Hades who has a taken toll on Instagram. Hades, a poet, and writer from Britain runs her Instagram profile where she consistently posts her poetry scripts. She even has listed her book on Amazon where she has compiled her work. It is called “High Tide: Poetry & Postcards”.
The way of expressing thoughts and ideas – People suffering from mental health issues have found refuge in expressing into words exactly the things which deeply bother them. Most poetic scripts are coded with words which entail large and profound meanings in the background. Much of poetry may be reflecting a deeper idea and this is what every poet aims for. In a few sentences of words, they master the ability to shed light on the unspeakable, discuss the matter which may be obscured or obsolete, or simply talk about the experiences in life they have gone through. It is all a way of releasing the energies building up inside them through a constructive manner of doing poetry.
As a form of comfort – Reading poetry can be relaxing and soothing, and it is even confirmed by scientific research. Many people find a chance to relate with the words written out there. Many develop a deep fondness with words of poetry because it entails a strong influence on their hearts. It allows them to seek liberation and empowerment with words, and this is a considerable benefit which mental health patients can have. People like to keep collections of poetry and rhetorical sayings with them. They view and reflect upon the words because it just connects to their hearts and offers them a chance to escape.
