The main concepts of mental wellbeing are about how an individual may think and feel on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis. How they react and cope with these thoughts and feelings, can hugely impact on their mental state of wellbeing. Different factors can contribute to a person’s mental wellbeing such as their personal relationships with others, social connections, the environment around them and their physical health. An individual must be able to identify and be confident enough to adapt to changes occurring in their life to maintain a good state of mental wellbeing. (Mind, 2016).
My interest in this topic is a result of recent experiences with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 (DMI), especially with the following two instances: a young adult patient admitted at the hospital following a DKA episode during one of my nursing rotations and one of my instructors with type 1 diabetes. Also, my father was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, this has increased my eagerness to study and explore more about the disease.
Since Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most common health challenges world-wide, I am going to further incorporate the topic in my paper. Through academic research and resources, in my first paragraph I will be providing the health promotion definition along with expressing the importance for patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. My second paragraph will display the pathophysiology to help comprehend how this health challenge is present in the body. Health promotion interventions will also be incorporated with ideas and specific information to aid individuals in promoting health and preventing development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
... found out that my great grandmother also passed away due to type 2 diabetes. Given the knowledge from public health I didn’t know the extinct of diabetes until the discovery of my family’s history. Until then I never knew how imminent the level of diabetes could be.

Unfortunately type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented and there is no screening for those that don’t develop symptoms. This is adversely unfortunate for young children that have to learn how to be insulin dependent at an age early as 1. In conclusion living with type 1 diabetes isn’t easy; individuals with type 1 diabetes have an increased risk of anxiety and depression. Understanding your not alone Is a coping mechanism, becoming more educated is the first step into living a healthier and longer life.

Many chronic illnesses have been related to altered health maintenance hypertension and cardiovascular diseases are associated with diet and stress, deficient in exercise, tobacco use, and obesity (Craven 2009). Some researchers define the chronic illness as diseases which have long duration and generally slow development (WHO 2013); it usually takes 6 month or longer than 6 month, and often for the person's life.

Mental health is just as important as physical health in a person’s life. Mental health is critical to a person’s well-being, their ability to live a productive life and to keep a healthy family and interpersonal relationships. Mental health does not just affect the mind it also affects people’s physical health. Some physical health diseases can cause a mental health disorder and vice versa. Mental health disorders are associated with the occurrence, development, and outcome of some of the today’s most chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. When people go untreated from a mental health disorder are at a higher risk for many unhealthy behaviors such as alcohol and drug use, violent behavior, and suicide.
Health is described as physical and mental well-being and freedom from disease, pain or defect. However, such descriptions only superficially define the actual meaning of health. There may be many occasions when individuals are not necessarily ill or in pain but may be overweight, stressed or emotionally unstable. Health is a quality of life involving dynamic interaction and interdependence among the individual’s physical state, their mental and emotional reactions, and the social context in which the individual exists. There are many factors that influence your health, but three major components contribute to general well-being: Self-awareness, a balanced diet and, regular physical activity.

Chronic stress results in mental and physical negative outcomes like being fatigued, getting irritated easily for no apparent reason and poor concentration. Chronic stress was found to make existing problems worse. For example, it can cause headaches due to negative thoughts. Another effect of chronic stress is that it can cause physiological diseases like high blood pressure. Moreover, it can lead to bad health habits like smoking and drinking. Adults at the age of 21 can use smoking and drinking as a way of coping with stress. When a person is depressed and has minimal social interactions for a prolonged amount of time, he or she can have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular complications.
