Age has no bearing on the relevance of mental health for total well-being. It is critical to maintain good health throughout one’s life. When one’s psychological well-being is harmed, it can lead to unwanted behaviours that not only endanger one’s own health but also jeopardise one’s personal and social relationships.

A healthy mind is directly linked to increased self-esteem; with a healthy mind, one may feel good about oneself and have the confidence to thrive in any scenario; it also provides the strength to handle any stressful or emotionally hard situation. A person who is mentally ill or physically ill is unable to meet life’s problems.

A steady mind produces a powerful coping mechanism. Because a mentally healthy person is capable of expressing affection and support to the people they care about, good mental health leads to stronger friendships and relationships.

A healthy mind can provide a higher quality of life by allowing you to be more productive, more involved in society for community building, and to share positive energy with your loved ones and the rest of the world.
