What is mental health?

Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences how we think, feel, and act, affecting our ability to handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.

Mental health is fundamental to living a balanced, productive life, and maintaining it requires a proactive approach to care, recognising early signs of distress, and seeking professional support when needed.

What are the different types of mental health conditions?

• Depression: Characterised by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and withdrawal from social interactions.
• Anxiety Disorders: Including generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and phobias, marked by excessive worry and physical symptoms like restlessness.
• Bipolar Disorder: Involves fluctuations in mood, energy, and activity levels, ranging from manic highs to depressive lows.
• Schizophrenia: A complex disorder affecting a person's ability to think clearly, manage emotions, make decisions, and relate to others.
• Eating Disorders: Such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder, involving extreme emotions and attitudes. And behaviours surrounding weight and food.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): This can occur after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, leading to feelings of fear, helplessness, or horror.

Why is mental health care important?

Good mental health improves overall quality of life, allowing individuals to enjoy fulfilling relationships, work productively, and cope with life's challenges. Additionally, early intervention can prevent mental health conditions from worsening, reducing the risk of complications such as substance abuse, social isolation, and suicide.

There is also a strong link between mental and physical health, whereby managing mental health conditions can lead to better physical health outcomes. Addressing mental health openly promotes a healthier, more supportive community, reducing stigma and encouraging others to seek help.
