Mental Health

Mental health refers to a person’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It encompasses how individuals think, feel, and behave, influencing their day-to-day functioning. Mental health affects how people handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. It is important at every stage of life, from childhood through adulthood. Good mental health is characterized by the ability to manage thoughts and emotions effectively, cope with the challenges of life, and maintain fulfilling relationships. Conversely, poor mental health can result in anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, and other psychological issues. Mental health is shaped by a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, life experiences, and family history of mental health problems. Promoting mental health involves enhancing well-being, preventing mental health issues, and providing support for those who are experiencing difficulties.
