Mental health is your emotional and psychological well-being. It’s the way you think, feel, and act in your everyday life. It’s important to have good mental health because it determines how you deal with stress, relate to others, and make choices.

Mental ill health is quite common.

That’s because society is too stressed.

In the modern day, common stressors range from money troubles and work pressures, to relationship difficulties and caring for children or elderly parents.

All of these can lead to poor mental health if you don’t have the right support.

Everyone’s mental struggles look different

There are many different types of mental ill health, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and eating disorders.

Symptoms of mental ill health can include feeling anxious or down all the time, having intrusive thoughts, or having no motivation.

Everyone experiences these symptoms at some point in their life, but if they’re affecting your everyday life then it’s important to get help.
