Mental health is a crucial aspect of our overall well-being

Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. 

It affects how we think, feel, and act in our daily lives.  

Genetics, brain chemistry, and physical health can all influence mental health.  

Trauma, stress, and negative thinking patterns can contribute to mental health issues. 

A supportive environment can foster good mental health, while a stressful or toxic one can be detrimental.  

Persistent sadness, anxiety, or mood swings can be indicators of mental health problems. 

Changes in eating or sleeping habits, withdrawal from social activities, and loss of interest in things once enjoyed can be red flags.  

Depression Characterized by persistent sadness and a lack of interest in activities, depression can significantly impact daily life.

Bipolar Disorder This disorder involves extreme mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).
