Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel and even act. Our Mental Health is very important because it helps determine how we relate to others, handle stress and make choices in life.

This also works in reverse. The different aspects of ones life, such as interpersonal relationships and physical factors can all impact our mental health. Other conditions such as stress, anxiety and depression can also affect a persons mental health.
