Definition MENTAL
of HEALTH
“Good mental health means being generally able to
think, feel and react in the ways that you need and
want to live your life. But if you go through a period
of poor mental health you might find the ways
you're frequently thinking, feeling or reacting
become difficult, or even impossible, to cope with.
This can feel just as bad as a physical illness, or
even worse.”
