Mental health refers to 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 choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Good mental health means being generally able to think, feel and react in the ways that you need and want to live your life. If you're struggling with mental health issues, it's important to seek help and support from professionals.

There is a cultural stigma surrounding mental health, and individuals may be less likely to seek help or talk about their struggles due to fear of judgment or discrimination. Using language that is inclusive and culturally sensitive can help to create a more supportive and understanding environment for those struggling with mental health challenges.
