MAIN BODY
Determinants of mental health in Hounslow
Mental healthcare is referred as keeping the mind in peace and achieving a state where it
is less stress around the people who are suffering from mental diseases such as depression,
anxiety etc. which may have a serious impact in their overall health. There are certain
determinants of health that are considered as crucial in order to understand the topics
appropriately (Hathaliya and Tanwar, 2020). It is an important factor for maintaining the
professional and personal lives of people and an unstable mind can cause issues in these aspects.
These factors are stated below:
Childhood trauma and abuse
A serious incident or abuse which has occurred with any person may hamper his or her
mental conditions which is a specific determinant that has a negative impact on the mental health
of these individuals. This trauma leads towards instability of people to handle the mental
pressure which is created by certain incidents or activities on them.
Loneliness
It is a significant determinant which has a severe impact on the mental health of the
population and is responsible for increasing various issues that are inappropriate for recovery. It
plays a vital role in disturbing the mental peace of people and isolate them from the society

which creates a negative influence on these practices. Due to loneliness people get mental issues
that creates difficulties for them to live peacefully.
Discrimination
Discrimination is a major cause of mental health problems among people as they increase
the anger and frustration among them which has a negative impact on their mental peace. This
determinant has severe impact on the behaviour of people as they become unsatisfied with the
treatment of other people towards them (Vervoort and et.al., 2020). The discrimination practices
are not appropriate for managing mental health of these individuals properly and it has a severe
impact on them which is inappropriate for their overall development.
Bereavement
The separation of people from their loved ones is painful and sometimes leads towards
mental issues among them which are difficult to handle appropriately. This is a major factor
which creates difficulties for the person to absorb the pain of retrenchment from their closed
ones and decreases their overall capability. The bereavement is considered as one of the most
serious determinant of the mental conditions of people in the industry which reduces their ability
to stay stable.
Severe stress
The stressful and hectic schedule of people may create difficulties for them to manage
their mental peace which has a significant impact on their overall health. It has a major impact on
the stability of mind of individuals which is inappropriate for them in order to remain in a better
state of mind. It can create mental issues for people which has a negative impact on their overall
development of the mental healthcare facilities.
Local health inequalities
Health inequalities are considered as the difference in the status of people's health plays a
vita role in defining the difference between the health conditions of various individuals. The
different resources and care which are accessible to the people to lead a healthy life. The average
life expectancy of people in Hounslow is 80.3 years which is considered as ideal in the recent
times that has increased climate changes and calamities on a regular basis (Pruszyński and et.al.,
2022). Population of Hounslow faces better expectancy of life in comparison with most of the
other nations and regions. Due to this factor there is less fear of death among the people which

leads to less mental health issues due to this factor. There is less access to healthcare facilities
which is not beneficial for the people to improve their mental health appropriately. People may
face issues in their old age due to the poor healthcare facilities that are provided to them by the
government. It might have a negative impact on the sustainability of the region and restrict their
overall growth. The stress levels of the people in the city might increase which also has a
negative impact on their overall mental health. Due to these activities, people are maintain their
health properly and getting serious mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, etc. which
are not suitable to live the life peacefully.
The income status of the region is poor where the people are unemployed and does not
have appropriate access to income. It creates mental pressure on the residents to manage their
survival in the place and enhance their living standards. The employees that are living in this
borough are low-paid which reduces their access to different aid which are provided by the
people to them. These aspects have a major impact on the overall effectiveness of the people to
gain better healthcare facilities that are aims towards their development (Narayanasamy and
et.al., 2022). These local health inequalities in the region restricts the people to improve their
mental condition and live a peaceful life. People might not be able to seek help from healthcare
institutions due to higher costs that are imposed on these services which are dedicated towards
these issues. It changes the ability of people to gain better advantage and respond towards certain
changes that are crucial for the people to enhance their mental peace. It creates disadvantages for
people to seek appropriate help from the healthcare institutions and manage their preferences
effectively.
Relationship of the determinants of healthcare
These determinants have a significant relationship between them as the financial
condition of people are necessary for them to access appropriate health care for their treatment.
The poor economic condition of the region have created difficulties for the people to fulfil their
needs which has a significant impact on the mental stability of the people in the country. The
people have developed the mental issues such as depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's etc. due to
these determinants which created difficulties for them to manage their mental stability properly.
These mental health problems play a significant role in reducing the overall life expectancy of
people in the region and the numbers will slowly and gradually start decreasing with time.

People will get these diseases more frequently due to the hectic work schedule and
inappropriate things that happen to them regularly. Mental health is a sensitive issue which is
common for people from different backgrounds and beliefs (Leite, Lindsay and Kumar, 2020).
Dissatisfaction from happening is a major cause of the phenomenon which creates various
problems for the people to manage quality of mental health. These issues have a significant
effect on the overall sustainability of the people in the hectic environment where there is less
peace and more stress.
These determinants may reduce the success of the healthcare institutions to treat the
people effectively and improve their overall health. Due to less income, people are unable to
maintain their mental health properly and it also affects their growth in their respective areas of
work as well. Hounslow is facing this crisis due to the instability in their financial environment
which plays a crucial role in engaging the customers and increasing their growth opportunities
(Sheraton and et.al., 2020). The mental health issues and poor economic conditions of the area
have a deep relationship which had an indirect impact on the mental peace of the people who are
living in Hounslow. It causes issues for them to manage their personal and professional needs
properly and it impacts on their overall development.
Contribution of determinants in health issue
These determinants contribute towards the mental health issues by impacting the thinking
and imagination process of individuals. People are trapped in their own world and build certain
perception about specific aspects which creates difficulties for them to come out of this trap. It
affects the ability of people to manage their overall satisfaction levels that is crucial fir them to
remain in a healthy state of mind. Traumatic and abusive experiences may hamper their ability to
feel positive about certain aspects which creates their mental issues to grow (King and et.al.,
2018). It also affects the quality of sleep and rest of these individuals which increases their
instability of their mental health. The social isolation creates various problems for the people in
order to maintain their relationships with people and has a significant influence on their
satisfaction levels. It creates difficulties for them to have a better state of mind which is crucial
for them to develop a significant impact in their lives. Excess of stress is a major factor which
reduces the quality of mental health and peace of the people which is necessary for them to
remain dedicated towards their overall development.

Stressful situation disrupts the mental conditions of people and attacks their happiness
which reflects in their behaviour towards their peers and superiors. It impacts their relationships
and acts as a barrier in their overall mental and social development. The bereavement is one of
the most painful factors that has a severe impact on the mental health of people and leads
towards several mental health issues among them (Ellins and et.al., 2021). This factor is
considered as impactful as a person gets attached or connected with their loved ones. The
separation from those individuals has a deep impact on their health and increases several issues
among them. It is sometimes difficult to treat these type of individuals as the impact is so severe.
It reduces the capability people to manage their life, and they feel sad and dissatisfied most of the
times. Due to the separation from their loved ones, people might gets serious mental health
problems that can have a negative impact on their life expectancy.
Strategies to address the local health inequalities
It is crucial for the government to address the health inequalities in the region in order to

provide better assistance to their people and improving their mental issues that are being faced
by them on a regular basis. This can be useful for them to help the people to stabilize their
mental health and reduce the negative impact of these issues upon their overall health. With the

their mental peace which plays a vital role in their overall development in the region. This
strategy can be useful in reducing the percentage of people who are affected by the mental health
issues on a regular basis and have reduced their life expectancy due to this aspect (Juzwishin,
2019). Financial stability plays a major role in the mental peace of people as the pressure of not
being able to fulfil their needs may create a negative environment for them to survive in their
region. It can provide them with better happiness and satisfaction which is crucial to enhance the

success of these people and create better opportunities for them to grow in the competitive

the country, the government will be able to contribute towards the development of various
individuals that are suffering from serious health problems on a regular basis.
Improving healthcare facilities for the people of Hounslow is an important strategy
which will be useful in managing the health issues that frequently arise among these individuals.
It will be helpful for them to enhance their services to the mental health patients and increase

environment. Professional and specialist doctors and consults can be provided by the
governments in the region in order to provide better assistance to the patients and help them to
recover faster. It will be a beneficial step which can increase the sustainable development of the
region as the people will be able to manage their work effectively. New and advanced treatments

difficulties and have to move to bigger cities which are costlier and have a certain impact on
these patients.

overall development and helps the people to gain better employment opportunities which are
necessary for their overall growth in the industry. It relieves the stress from these individuals and
helps them to build a better career that is free from stress and pressure. The expectations of
people with their lives are met with the help of these developments in the educational sector by
the government that is useful for them to achieve success.
The government should aim at encouraging a better social environment in Hounslow
which will provide the people to participate in various events and celebrations that are helpful for

people to enjoy. It reduces the stress levels and pressure which is created on them through
different determinants. It is crucial for the people to enhance their satisfaction levels which is
beneficial for them to recover better. These events are joyful and have a significant impact on the
mental health of these patients. Being a part of these events makes them happy which increasing
their overall satisfaction and motivation levels (Patel, Ezzamel and Horley, 2021). It is a useful
strategy which creates better opportunities for the mental health patients to gain a significant
advantage in their country and improve the serious health impacts that these aspects have on
their overall suitability in the environment. It is crucial for the government in order to reduce the
mental illnesses in their region due to various aspects that acts as barriers in the overall
development of individuals in the country.
By following these strategies appropriately the government of UK will be able to

Hounslow to seek these services which are provided by the government in order to enhance their
recovery and improve the quality of life. It will be beneficial for the citizens of the region to deal
with these health issues and have an appropriate opportunity to grow and achieve better
opportunities. These strategies are beneficial for the people to gain better advantage and enhance
