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. With this knowledge about how everything in our lives is a reflection of our mental health it is understandable why mental health is an integral part of a person's overall health.
