What is Mental Health?
Mental health refers to a person’s psychological, emotional, and social well-being. It impacts how people think, feel, act, handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. It’s essential for overall health and encompasses a broad spectrum, ranging from mental well-being to mental illness. Good mental health allows individuals to cope with life’s challenges, maintain relationships, work productively, and contribute to their communities. Mental health disorders, on the other hand, can affect mood, behaviour, and thinking patterns, often requiring professional intervention and support.
