Health includes people’s physical and mental health. WHO defines it as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. People, healthy or not, along with medical staff, ignore mental health to some extent. People tend to attach importance to physical exercise while neglecting mental exercise. In clinical practice, some medical staff pay less attention to mental factors and psychological treatments. In fact, physical and mental health are significant equally, which are interrelated and mutually restricted.

People care about their own health and pursue longevity. However the “third state”, being subhealthy, serves as the barrier to people’s health. Exhaustion syndrome is the typical representative of such a state, which is characterized by fatigue, listlessness and poor appetite. It is reported that subhealthy people are mainly the middle-aged in a variety of professionals ranging from administrators to doctors. Potential risks of exhaustion syndrome should not be ignored, which tend to trigger some chronic diseases, such as hypertention, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and even cancers.

Although there have not been effective treatments towards subhealth, self-regulation would work. First we should be positive towards study, work and life and try not to impose much pressure on ourselves. Additionally, you’d better choose proper diets and have sound sleeps. Keeping early hours is recommended.
