Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. You can’t be healthy on the outside without being healthy on the inside. Mental health is a dangerous thing and cannot be ignored, but if handled properly, it can be your greatest strength. Learn to stand up for yourself. Respect yourself before you expect respect from anyone else, and love yourself before anyone else. Be good to yourself and be good to others. Have fun.
