The way people think, feel, and act is everything
to mental health. Depression, anxiety, bipolar
disorder, and addiction are just a few of the
mental health conditions that mental health
professionals or psychologist can assist
with. Daily living, relationships, and physical
health can all be impacted by mental health. On
the other hand, this link also works the other
way around. People's lives, interpersonal
relationships, and physical factors can all
contribute to mental health problems. A person's
ability to enjoy life can be preserved by taking
care of their mental health. This requires
striking a balance between responsibilities, life
activities, and efforts to build psychological
resilience. Anxiety, depression, and stress can
all have an impact on a person's mental health
and disrupt their routine. Despite the fact that
medical professionals psychologist frequently
uses the term "mental health," many psychological
disorders have physical causes.

Why mental health is important?
According to psychologist mental health relates
to a person's thoughts, feelings, and behavior in
the face of challenges in life. How we respond to
stress, interact with one another, and make
decisions is all impacted by our mental health.
Additionally, a person's perspective about
themselves, their circumstances, and other people
has an impact on their mental health. At every
stage of life, mental health is just as vital as
physical health. A professional psychologist
says our mental health has an impact on every
element of our lives, therefore it only makes
sense that one of our parental responsibilities
is to safeguard our children's mental health. The
daily existence and independence of our children
depend on our ability to provide for their
emotional and physical needs. Children and
teenagers are susceptible to serious mental
health issues. Children and adolescents can
experience mental health issues that affect how
they function, just like adults. Mental health
refers to how individuals think, feel and act as
they face lifes situations. Our mental health
affects how we handle stress, relate to one
another and make decisions. And mental health
influences the way individuals look at
themselves, their lives and others in their
lives. Like physical health, mental health is
important at every stage of life.
