Mental health awareness is the ongoing effort to reduce the stigma around mental illness and mental health conditions by sharing our personal experiences. Often, because of misconceptions about mental health and mental fitness, people often suffer in silence and their conditions go untreated.
Mental health is a positive concept related to the social and emotional wellbeing of individuals and communities. Having good mental health, or being mentally healthy, is more than just the absence of illness, rather it’s a state of overall wellbeing.
Mental Wellbeing refers to our sense of self and our ability to live our lives as close as possible to the way we want to; a flourishing mental wellbeing is associated with meeting our potential, developing strong relationships and doing things that we consider important and worthwhile.
