Mental health refers to an individual’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It encompasses how people think, feel, and behave, as well as how they handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is crucial at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. It is influenced by various factors including biological, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Good mental health can lead to greater resilience, productivity, and better quality of life, while poor mental health can lead to various psychological disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Mental health is important not only for individuals but also for society as a whole, as it affects overall health, relationships, and community functioning. Promoting mental health involves efforts to improve mental well-being, prevent mental disorders, and provide support and resources for those in need.
