What is Mental Health?Mental health is a state of mental well-being that refers to the ability of people to cope with stressors, overcome challenges with resilience, achieve their true potentialities and function effectively in the personal and professional areas of their lives. Despite the huge negative impact that poor mental health can have on individuals and societies, the
stigma, discrimination and negative connotations attached to it, prevents people from seeking timely mental health first- aid and counseling services leading to worsening psychological disorders and irreparable damage in terms of social, economic and healthcare costs. Timely mental health care interventions can save individuals and their families from the development and exacerbation of the symptoms of mental disorders, psychological distress and an impairment in the ability to function effectively in the personal, social and professional areas of life.
Therapy is a process of self-healing and treatment of psychological distress in a non-judgmental and supportive environment wherein the therapist guides the client in the journey of personal growth, increased self-awareness and sound mental health. Before mental disorders start negatively impacting every aspect of your life, please make sure to seek help and know that you are not alone on this journey by discussing your true feelings and problems with a professional, empathetic psychologist and counselor.
