Dance Mental Health

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Since the invention of dance many have either seen an injury or been part of one in the field. It’s unfortunate because of the mental strain that it puts on the average dancer; that rush of joy and adrenalin that a dancer gets while on the floor, is no more. Often this depression and gloom plays with the dancers minds, especially the younger ones. It gives them a reason to tell them self’s that they are ready to dance again, when in fact they actually may not be. After possibly many months of your muscles being unused they begin to loose strength. The first thing that many unweathered dancers want to do is jump up and go right back at it. Yes, I know the doctor told you that it was fine to go back, but has he/she ever taken a dance class? Chances are not. By going right back at it you take a large risk of reinjuring yourself. The proper course of action would be to get yourself a physical therapist and slowly work your way back to where you were before your accident. When you believe that you have truly done all you can do, ease yourself back into it. And remember you haven’t danced in months, so have fun!

Mental Health Care is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. There are various facets to mental illness. The most heard and common are Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, dementia etc.These generally stem out of depression. Let us try and analyze how and why depression sets in.

Depression is one of most common mental illness and can be cured by timely mental health care. It can include both emotional and physical symptoms. Both types are controlled by chemicals called neurotransmitters. Depression does have other symptoms which we usually associate with emotional distress; such as unexplained aches and pains, or digestive problems.
