Understanding Mental Health: Why It Matters
Mental health is an integral part of our overall well-being, affecting how we think, feel, and act. It influences how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. good mental health isn’t just the absence of mental illness; it’s a state of well-being where an individual realizes their own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively, and is able to make a contribution to their community.
