INTRODUCTION TO MENTAL HEALTH

TO BE HEALTHY AS A WHOLE, MENTAL WELLNESS PLAYS A ROLE

Mental health refers to our cognitive, behavioral and emotional well-being. It can affect daily life, relationships and even physical health. It is not just about the way we think but also the way we feel and behave. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, make choices and take decisions.

The WHO (World Health Organization) stresses that “Mental health is not just the absence of mental disorder.” Being mentally healthy means that we have the capacity to cope with life, make the most of our potential and play a full part in family, friends, workplace and community.
