Mental health is how a person thinks, feels and acts in life.
It reflects on how people view themselves and others and their own lives. Mental health affects how we view, and as a result, how we handle life's challenges and problems. It also impacts how we explore our surroundings and make choices in our life. Handling stress, relating to others and decision-making are all functions of mental health. Knowing how everything in our lives is a reflection of our mental health, it is understandable why mental health is an integral part of one's overall health.
