What is Mental Health?

Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, playing a vital role in handling stress, relating to others, and making choices. Mental health issues, such as Depression and Anxiety, are common conditions that can impact daily life and overall happiness.

Depression is a mood disorder characterized by prolonged feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, and a pervasive sense of hopelessness. It can impact various aspects of life, including sleep patterns, appetite, energy levels, and concentration. Depression may result from a combination of Hormone Imbalance, genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Treatment often involves a mix of treatment, medication, and lifestyle changes to help individuals regain their emotional balance and improve their quality of life.

Anxiety is a natural response to Stress, but when it becomes excessive or chronic, it can lead to an Anxiety Disorder. This condition is marked by intense, persistent fear or worry about everyday situations. Physical symptoms may include increased heart rate, rapid breathing, restlessness, and trouble sleeping. Anxiety Disorders can stem from Hormone Imbalance, Genetic Predisposition, Environmental Factors, and Traumatic Experiences. Effective management typically includes treatment, medication, relaxation techniques, and support from Mental Health professionals.
