FAQs

What is mental wellness, and why is it important?

Mental wellness refers to a state of emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and behave, as well as how we handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions.

Simple practices like getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, exercising, practicing mindfulness, staying socially connected, and setting boundaries can help improve mental well-being.

If you’re experiencing persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, or emotional distress that interfere with your daily life, relationships, or work, you should seek professional support from a therapist or counselor.

You can do deep-breathing exercises, meditation, or journaling. You can also actively engage in your hobbies, limit the time you spend on your phone or computer, talk to a trusted friend or professional.

Listen to them without judgment, offer encouragement, and let them know they are not alone. Avoid giving unsolicited advice; rather encourage them to seek professional help if needed. Sometimes, just being present with them makes a huge difference.
