What is Mental Health?
Mental Health refers to your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how you think, feel, and behave, as well as how you handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions.
Good mental health means being able to:
š§ Manage Stress: Cope with lifeās challenges and bounce back from setbacks.
ā¤ļø Build Healthy Relationships: Form meaningful connections with others and communicate effectively.
š
Maintain Emotional Balance: Experience a range of emotions without feeling overwhelmed.
š” Think Clearly: Make thoughtful decisions and solve problems effectively.
š Engage in Daily Life: Participate in work, school, and social activities with confidence and focus.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Seeking support, practicing self-care, and connecting with others are all key steps to maintaining mental well-being.
