HYPERTENSION AND MENTAL HEALTH: A STUDY BASED ON LIFE STYLE

The present work is an empirical study reflecting the status of mental health of the patient suffering from hypertension. Hypertension is one of the psycho somatic problems generated from faulty life style or unwanted coordination of life adjustment. Life would be simple indeed if one’s biological and physiological needs were automatically gratified. But as we know, there are many obstacles, both environmental and personal, that may interfere. Such obstacles place adjusted demands or stress on the individual. His life style is not in harmony with the world around him, and this causes suffering. Diet and sleep are not scheduled to harmonize with the light and dark cycles of the day. People are willing to do a lot within short span of time. All these predispose ill health and hypertension (HBp). The finding helps the people how to make balance in their habit and work culture to neutralize the effect of psychosomatic problem or illness of HBp.
