Psychological distress involves unpleasant feeling or emotions that affect one`s level of functioning. When these emotions exceed, they interfere with a person`s daily activities hence the need to go for counseling. Numerous factors cause psychological distress. In most of the time, it occurs because of traumatic experiences as a way of dealing with such a stressful situation. In such a case, one might be unable to cope with it and hence interfere with their normal function. The most common cause of psychological distress is the loss of a loved one. The death of a relative is a painful experience, and some people refuse to accept the loss and to grief. Consequently, they are unable to deal with the experience which eventually interferes with every functioning. Furthermore, major life transitions such as moving to a new job or school might contribute to psychological distress if you are unable to cope with the demands that come with the change. Other factors that contribute to such stress include starting a new job, divorce, depression, and bad experiences, among others (Ross, 2017).
An excellent mental help entails the absence of mental health problems. Good mental health dictates one is in a healthy state and can realize their potential as well as cope with everyday stress. Furthermore, such a person has the capability to feel, express, and control positive and negative emotions as well as create and foster constructive relationships with others.

Good mental health entails one can work productively and effectively since they can maintain a full cognitive functioning. As a result, an individual can contribute to the community.
People change as they grow up due to what they go through on a daily basis. Experience forces us to grow up and learn about the workings of the world. We learn from what we got through, and it shapes what we become in the future. Hard times teach us how to be strong, but those who give up easily find it hard to cope with such stress. Eventually, their normal behavior is affected as they try to deal with such experiences.
