Mental Health

Mental health refers to the cognitive, emotional, and social well-being of an individual. It encompasses how people think, feel, and behave in their daily lives. Mental health influences how individuals handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. It is an essential part of overall health and is affected by various factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, trauma, and life experiences. Good mental health is characterized by the ability to manage emotions, maintain relationships, and adapt to change and uncertainty. Conversely, poor mental health can lead to conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, and other psychological issues, impacting one’s quality of life. Promoting mental health involves awareness, prevention, and intervention strategies to foster resilience and support individuals in achieving and maintaining optimal mental well-being.
