Understanding Mental Health

Mental health is as important as physical health. It involves our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It plays a crucial role in how we think, feel, and act. It's about how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

The effects of mental health problems can be far-reaching and include detrimental impacts on one’s lifestyle, physical health, relationships, and even career. Mental health issues can create distress, anxiety, and reduced capability to perform even the day-to-day tasks, affecting an individual’s overall quality of life.

Once we acknowledge the existence of a mental health problem, the next step is finding strategies to cope. This means developing personalized coping strategies, which may include therapy, medication, self-care routines, exercise, or a combination of these.
