More About Mental Health
Mental health refers to a person's emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. It affects how people think, feel, cope with stress, build relationships and make decisions throughout their lives.
Good mental health supports overall wellbeing, helping people manage everyday challenges, maintain healthy relationships and function effectively at work, school and in their communities. Poor mental health can affect every aspect of a person's life, making early support and treatment important.
Maintaining good mental health may involve regular exercise, healthy sleep, social connection, stress management and seeking professional support when needed. Therapy, counselling and medical treatment can also be effective for many mental health conditions.
