Social support has been depicted as “support available to a person through friendly connections to others, gatherings, and the bigger local area”. Social support can be estimated in numerous ways, saw social help is the most regularly estimated list of social help, given its simplicity of estimation and proof that it is a preferred indicator of psychological well-being over different measures. An abundance of examination has shown the defensive impact of seen social help on emotional wellness in distressing circumstances. Moreover, finding social help (a receipt of strong ways of behaving) is likewise a significant sub-build of social help. The relationship between perceived and received social support is thought to be relatively high from the perspective of stress and coping on social support, especially when the support demand matches the type of support provided. This is true even though there is a distinction between perceived and received social support. The memory of supportive acts can also be used to gauge felt support, according to some authors.
According to some, social support and social support resources should be seen as two different but linked ideas. One’s subjective judgments of the availability of social support from other users on social networks are represented by perceived support. According to several studies, perceived support quality is more closely correlated with mental health than real personal network structure. Broadly speaking, perceived social support can originate from a wide range of people, including but not limited to family, friends, love partners, pets, ties to the community, and coworkers. Several studies have shown that different types of social support have different effects on young people’s mental health. Notably, post traumatic disorder and depressive symptoms were correlated with social assistance from relatives but not with friends. In another study, peer social support outperformed family social support as a protective factor against psychological discomfort. While examining the relationship between societal support and mental health, it is important to take into account the many forms of social support, which may involve someone who is more formal (such as professionals in mental health or community organizations) or more natural (such as friends and relatives).
