Mental health is a state of well-being that enables you to cope with the stresses of life, develop opportunities, learn, work and participate in the community.
Definition
Mental health does not mean the absence of difficult emotions or problems. It includes the ability to regulate, relate, make sense, function, learn and receive support. It is shaped by biological, psychological, social, economic and environmental factors. In case of severe suffering or functional impairment, it is worth seeking professional help.

Practice and life
Once a week, check four areas: sleep, relationships, emotions and action. Mental health is visible in everyday functioning, not just in mood.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to treat mental health as just "good mood." It is also a mistake to postpone help when suffering makes life difficult.
