Thus far, we have looked at some of the downsides associated with poor mental health and how these can develop into more serious issues, including mental disorders. However, it should be noted that most people enjoy good mental stability for all – or the majority – of their lives without needing to worry about mental health conditions. Maintaining a habit of healthy eating is known to have a positive effect on the mental outlook. Refraining from drinking excessively or indulging in substance misuse is also likely to have a positive outcome, mentally speaking. People who take regular exercise will also have a more positive mental well-being on average than people who do not. Surrounding yourself with family and friends is also a good move, so long as they are supportive and understanding. In some cases, people will meditate or use mindfulness techniques to also help them enjoy a more stable and positive mental outlook.
