Prioritizing Mental Health: Recognizing the Significance of Nurturing and Sustaining Psychological Wellness

Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which an individual can realize their potential, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively, and make a positive contribution to their community. However, mental health issues can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or socioeconomic status.
