Mental Health

What Is Mental Health?

Mental health is a term used to describe emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

The quality of a person’s mental health is often measured by how adaptively they can cope with everyday stressors.

Mental health allows people to use their abilities, be productive, make decisions, and play an active role in their communities.

Having poor mental health is often confused with having a mental illness. But mental health actually refers to a person’s state of mental well-being whether or not they have a psychiatric condition.
