Mental Health

Mental health refers to a person’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences how individuals think, feel, and behave in their daily lives. Mental health is essential at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. It encompasses a range of factors, including the presence or absence of mental disorders, emotional stability, coping mechanisms, and the ability to manage stress and relate to others. Good mental health enhances the quality of life, contributing to overall well-being and the ability to handle life’s challenges. Conversely, poor mental health can lead to a variety of problems, impacting not only the individual but also their relationships and the wider community. Mental health is recognized as a vital part of overall health, requiring attention, support, and treatment when necessary.
