Mental health is like taking care of your mind and emotions. It means feeling good inside, dealing with stress, emotions, and life's challenges, and being able to think and learn positively. A common definition of mental health is given by the World Health Organization (WHO): "Mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual can realize his or her potential, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and contribute to his or her community."
Consideration of mental health is essential, as it affects not only individual well-being, but also society as a whole. Mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and other disorders, can have a significant impact on people's daily lives. It's important to promote mental health awareness, to seek support when needed, and to fight the stigma surrounding mental health problems.
