Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. October is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness while promoting the importance of Mental Health care and to spread understanding regarding mental health challenges, on the one hand. On the other hand, mental health awareness Month is important because it provides an opportunity for individuals to assess their own mental health.
Mental health is a difficult topic to talk about for most; however, we have to remember that mental health is a normal part of life and everyone should be aware of it. During this awareness month, we can become more knowledgeable about the different types of mental health conditions, signs and symptoms and become cognizant of various resources for individuals who may be seeking help for their mental health.
