Mental Health Defined

Mental health "refers to a person's emotional, psychological, and social well-being, [and it] affects how people think, feel, and act" ("Mental Health," 2020). This is a broad term that refers to both the conditions that can negatively affect one's mental health, as well as those activities, strategies, and treatments utilized to improve mental health.
