Mental Health

Mental health is a fundamental human right. It is also essential for

personal, community, and socioeconomic growth. No matter what,

our mental state always comes first. Our emotional, psychological,

and social well-being are major contributors to our mental health.

Our mental health status has a huge impact on our lifestyles.

Mental health is essential throughout life, from childhood and

adolescence to adulthood so nobody’s feelings should be

invalidated.

Mental health encompasses more than just the absence of mental

diseases. It exists in a complex sequence, with varying degrees of

difficulty and distress and potentially very diverse social and

clinical results from one person to the next. Mental illnesses and

psychosocial disabilities, as well as other mental states linked with

considerable suffering, disability in functioning, or risk of self-harm,

are examples of mental health issues. People suffering from

mental illnesses are more likely to have poorer levels of mental

well-being, however, this is not always the case. If you have mental

health difficulties, our thinking, mood and

behavior may affect your life.
