What is mental health?
Mental health refers to the good state of an individual's cognition, emotion and behavior. It not only refers to the absence of mental illness, but also includes positive psychological quality and good social adaptability. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health as: a state of well-being in which each person recognizes his or her potential, is able to cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to contribute to his or her community.
Common signs of mental health issues
Persistent low mood or severe fluctuations in mood
A low mood, loss of interest, or rapid mood swings between extreme highs and lows that last for more than two weeks may be signs of depression or bipolar disorder.
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Frequent lapses in concentration, memory loss, and inability to make daily decisions may be related to anxiety, depression, or ADHD.
Significant changes in sleeping or eating habits
Insomnia or drowsiness, increased or decreased appetite, and avoidance of social activities are often external manifestations of psychological problems.
Unexplained physical discomfort
Physical symptoms such as long-term headache, stomach pain, and chest tightness, but no abnormality in medical examination, may be somatic manifestations of anxiety or depression.
