What is Mental Health?
Our mental health includes our psychological, emotional, and social well-being. It affects our whole person, how we feel, how we think, how we act, and how we handle our stress and communicate with others. A mental illness is a health condition that involves any changes in emotion, thinking or behavior, or a combination of these. It can be associated with any distress, and problems functioning in any social or work settings/activities. Taking care of your mental health is as important as taking care of your physical health because your mental well-being affects your physical well-being and interactions with those around you.
