Mental health comprises one’s emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. It often affects how a person thinks, feels, and acts. It can also determine how a person handles stress, relates to others, and makes choices. Sometimes those choices and/or life situations can contribute to a decline in mental wellbeing.
A lack of mental wellbeing is sometimes defined as encompassing several symptoms. These include lack of appetite, having low energy, feeling like nothing matters, feeling hopeless, getting angry easily, or having the inability to perform simple tasks. What can one do when our own wellbeing or that of others seems negatively altered?
