Human being needs a positive state of mind in performing different tasks successfully in their daily routine works. Right from the birth of a child various factors can affect human mental health. All these factors are either present in the environment of a person or heredity determines it. No matter how much suitable the environment he surrounded; person’s heredity influence is sometimes above all. People get motivated and reinforce positively and negatively from every single moment of life.

As a social animal we cannot live without others and our mental and emotional health is determined by our society. Human social rules and goals differ from individual to individual depending on human seeking and adapting abilities and past experiences. Mental problems and emotional issues rise when we cannot cope up the situation, decision making and taking responsibilities looks hard.

Simply when we cross the borderline of frustration than it doesn’t remain just frustration and move to other mental health issues, it mainly leads to anxiety and depress behavior. But the human mind during this difficult stage of problem solving; start resolving and making mind back to normal state.

There are many important health issues that seem to always come to the forefront in our world of today. Diseases like cancer, AIDS and heart disease, health issues that most people are more concerned about. The other health issues are that cause a panic, like bird flu and mad cow disease. These health issues are rare, but they get so much media attention that people start to worry more about them then the health issues they should be worried about.

The media’s goal is to create a story that will get people watching. They do offer great information, but usually it is blown out of proportion.
The media plays a big role in the publics view of health issues. Unfortunately, the media is less concerned with people’s health then they may seem.

The media has a habit of turning a small issue not a big one. Bird flu is a good example. It never became as huge of a health issue as the media made it seem. They quoted medical professionals out of context often, making it look as though it was hitting the US. This type of media influence can be very bad.
