Mental Health

Mental health refers to a person’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how individuals think, feel, and behave in their daily lives. Mental health also influences how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. It is essential at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Mental health issues can arise due to various factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, trauma, and environmental influences. Good mental health contributes to overall functioning and quality of life, while poor mental health can lead to conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, and other mental illnesses. Maintaining mental health involves strategies such as seeking support, practicing self-care, and, when necessary, engaging with mental health professionals for treatment and support.
