Mental Health

Mental health refers to a person's emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how individuals think, feel, and act, and it also influences how they handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health encompasses various aspects of life, including mood, thinking, and behavior, and it is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Good mental health is characterized by the ability to manage stress, maintain fulfilling relationships, and contribute to the community, while poor mental health can lead to conditions such as anxiety, depression, and other mental disorders. Factors influencing mental health include biological factors (like genetics and brain chemistry), life experiences (such as trauma or abuse), and family history of mental health problems. Promoting mental health involves interventions that can enhance psychological resilience, improve coping skills, and foster social support.
