Routine mental health checkups

Not until recently did i known from a mental health professional on a medical /health issues TV program that regular and routine mental health check ups are recommended for all people.

I found an assertion that a person who appears quite normal, as contrasted to a visibly mentally disturbed one, may indeed be very mentally sick and actually be in need of help quite surprising.

The discussions in that program made me wonder whether poor mental health status of our people could be to blame for the many weird behaviors we are witnessing including inexplicable greed for material gain, idiotic sycophancy and addictions that are evident for some food types, drinks and even beverages and  drugs.
People who seem addicted the social media  and some social vices including slandering others, gossiping and needless interference in other people’s affairs could also be suffering from poor mental health…
… Even leaders, some behaving in funny ways, could also benefit from such assessments seeing that proper diagnosis of different problems helps in providing the proper medical attention & care…
