What is Mental Wellness?
Mental wellness is more than just the absence of mental illness — it’s a positive state of mental health that allows you to enjoy life, manage challenges, and thrive. It involves emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

Mental wellness affects how you think, feel, and act. It influences:
- Stress management: Ability to cope with daily stresses effectively
- Relationships: Maintaining meaningful and supportive connections
- Physical health: Mental state directly impacts immune system and heart health
- Work and productivity: Concentration, creativity, and motivation hinge on mental health

- Anxiety: Excessive worry or fear interfering with daily life
- Depression: Persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue
- Stress: Chronic pressure that affects emotional and physical health
- Burnout: Emotional exhaustion due to prolonged stress or overwork

How to Assess Your Mental Wellness
Reflect on these questions:
- How do I usually handle stress?
- Do I feel supported by friends or family?

- How well do I sleep and eat?
If you identify challenges, it’s okay to seek help and build resilience.
