LONDON - eTradeWire -- We have come a long way since even the suggestion of a mental wellness problem was a taboo subject. It would be talked about in hushed tones and the term was taken to mean that there's something fundamentally wrong with us.

We would never judge or perceive physical health problems in the same way, people tend to be far more sympathetic and understanding. Fortunately, we live in more enlightened times but even now, do we prioritise physical fitness and mental fitness in the same way?

If we want to get fit for a sporting fixture, we train, exercise, perhaps go to the gym. We train and practice. We want to be in great physical shape in order to perform well and compete at our best. We want to help our team win. So it should be with our mental wellness in the workplace.

If we want to perform at our best then from time to time we might need to dedicate time for a little training, help and support.

We might not be ill in the clinical sense of the word, but nor are we fit either. Being able to recognise changes in ourselves and others, and understand the underlying causes is key to helping us to get back on top.

When we're feeling motivated, well-adjusted and positive, we enjoy work more and are well-placed to perform to the best of our abilities.

Our self-esteem rises, our output improves and our colleagues benefit. But as with physical fitness, the route to good mental well-being often isn't a quick fix, it needs to be understood and maintained with regular monitoring and, if necessary, action.
