Mental health is defined by the World Health Organization as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community. [1] Therefore, it is important to care for your mental health just as you would your physical health. Both mental and physical health go hand in hand, and one significantly affects the other. The more mentally healthy you are when physically ill, the greater the opportunity for recovery.
Mental health disorders are common in the United States, and each year approximately one quarter of the population suffers from one or more disorders. [2] In the U.S. there is still a stigma attached to mental or emotional health issues. While much has changed over the past few years and many public eye figures have spoken out about mental illness, there still remains a concern that many people are suffering silently or don’t recognize the symptoms.
