Mental health influences the way we think, feel and act. It influences our psychological, social as well as work performance. It helps us build healthy relationships, cope with daily stress, stay motivated, make healthy choices, build a strong sense of self and connect to one’s goals and purposes. Mental health also influences physical health. Healthy mental state can contribute to overall happiness and quality of life.
