Why Mental Health is Important

Mental health refers to your overall social, emotional and psychological well-being. It encompasses many facets of your life and can dictate how you respond to life's stresses. In the past, mental health was a taboo topic. There are many mental health conditions, and an estimated 58 million people in the United States live with them. Fortunately, we live in a time when discussions about mental health are more open and supportive than ever.
