What is Mental Health?

Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and behave in our daily life. It also influences how we handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions.

A simple way to think about it:

🧠 Psychological Well-Being

How you understand yourself, find meaning and purpose, and use your strengths to navigate life’s challenges.

💛 Emotional Well-Being

Your ability to manage emotions, cope with challenges, and experience a healthy range of feelings in everyday life.

🤝 Social Well-Being

The quality of your relationships, your sense of belonging, and how connected and supported you feel by others.

Mental health is not the same as mental illness—everyone has mental health, and it can be strong, strained, or anywhere in between depending on life circumstances, biology, environment, and support.
