MENTAL HEALTH: WHAT IS IT?
Mental health refers to our emotional, mental and social well-being.
It affects how we think, feel and act, as well as how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices.
Good mental health is more than just the absence of mental illness: it involves a positive sense of self, the ability to cope with life's challenges, and the capacity for meaningful relationships.
Mental health can be influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, environments, and life experiences.
Here are a few things to consider:
Mental health is shaped by a complex interplay of factors:
Genetics: A family history of mental health issues can increase susceptibility to conditions like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. However, genetics is only one piece of the puzzle.
Environment: Our surroundings play a significant role. Exposure to trauma, abuse, neglect, or high-stress environments can negatively affect mental well-being. Conversely, supportive environments can foster resilience.
Life Experiences: Major life events, both positive and negative, can impact mental health. Divorce, grief, job loss, or even success can trigger emotional responses that shape our mental state.
When we understand some of the factors that can lead to a mental health breakdown, it becomes ammunition for healing. Identify the culprits and bind them and be able to heal.
Knowledge is power, use your power to become Healed, Healthy and Whole and start today.
Blessings to you
