Important Dates in Mental Health Calendar

Mental health

Health is the state of social, mental, and physical well-being. For a person to be healthy and to live a longer life they need to have the mental aspect of health as well. For centuries we have been focusing on only the physicality of health and declining the other two aspects. However, we need to understand that the situations around us and the things that happen in our daily life also have an adverse effect on our health- that is mental health.

Mental health refers to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being. It affects how we think act and react. Mental health is interlinked to our physical and social health as well. Our environment, our social interactions, and physical injuries or diseases, all affect mental health.

When mental health has such great importance in our life, it is important to come and celebrate the days that matter.
