mental health

According to WHO (2022), mental health is a state of well-being in which people can cope with life stressors, learn and work well, make contributions to their community, and realize their abilities.

People with no mental illness can still suffer from poor mental health, which is why it is important to take your mental health seriously. Individuals experience mental health differently, so being mindful of their circumstances is key in treating them justly.
