There is no proven way of preventing  mental illness  only measures are taken but mental illness  can be cured.

Measures in prevention  of mental illness includes  reducing practicing risk factors  that cause mental illness, this can be through reading novels and visiting a therapist  for guidance. Building resilience during hard  periods  while developing and promoting health  lifestyle is one key to preventing mental illnesses.

It is important to pay attention  to warning signs and seek routine medical care, involve family  members  in monitoring  symptoms and get help as soon as you can.

The government, along with NGOs, media, and academic institutions, plays a crucial role in improving mental health status by conducting regular surveillance, collecting data, and developing accurate services. Future research directions emphasize the importance of studying factors like stigma and peer behavior in help-seeking behaviors for mental health issues. 

Overall, the barriers to accessing mental health services in Namibia need to be addressed to ensure widespread access and support for mental illness. By acknowledging risk factors, promoting  resilience, and utilizing appropriate treatments, individuals can work  hard in preventing and managing mental illnesses effectively.
