Mental Health refers to a person’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It encompasses how individuals think, feel, and behave in their daily lives. Mental health affects how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. It is crucial at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
