Mental health refers to the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of an individual. It affects how we think, feel, and act, influencing how we handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions. Good mental health is essential for maintaining a balanced and fulfilling life. It encompasses a range of conditions, from emotional well-being to more serious mental disorders like depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia. Mental health can be affected by life experiences, genetics, and environment. Seeking help through therapy, self-care, or support networks can improve mental health and promote resilience in managing life’s challenges.
