Ziqitza: Mental
Healthcare for
Corporates
The pandemic has been horrendous and overworking for our frontline medical workers like
Paramedics, Ambulance Operators, Doctors and Nurses, 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.
