MENTAL HEALTH
 Keeping our minds healthy is what mental health signifies. Mankind is
generally more concerned with maintaining physical health. People
have a tendency to disregard their mental state.
 According to WHO, there is no single 'official' definition of mental
health. Mental health refers to a person's psychological, emotional, and
social well-being, it influences what they feel and how they think, and
behave. The state of cognitive and behavioural well-being is referred to
as mental health.

IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH
 A person who is emotionally fit and stable feels vibrant and truly alive all of the
time and can easily manage emotionally difficult situations. Physical fitness is
required to be emotionally strong. Although mental health is a personal issue,
what affects one person may not affect another. However, several key factors
contribute to mental health problems. Many emotional factors have a significant
effect on our fitness level like depression, aggression, negative thinking,
frustration, and fear, etc. A physically fit person is always in a good mood and can
easily cope up with situations of distress and depression resulting in regular
training contributing to a good physical fitness standard. A state of psychological
well-being is suggested by mental fitness. It refers to having a positive
perception of how we feel, think, and act, which improves one's ability to enjoy
life. It helps one's inner ability to be self-determined. It is a supportive, positive
term that rejects any negative thoughts that may arise. Psychologists, mental
health practitioners, schools, organizations, and the general public are
increasingly using the term mental fitness to refer to clear analysis, clear
comprehension, and reasoning ability.
NEGATIVE IMPACT OF MENTAL HEALTH
 We can become mentally ill in the same way that we become physically ill.
Mental illness is defined as a state of health instability that includes changes
in emotion, thinking, and behavior. Stress or a reaction to an incident can
both cause mental illness. It could also occur as a result of child abuse or
trauma, social disadvantage, poor physical health, and so on. Mental illness
can be cured. One can seek help from experts in this field or overcome the
illness through positive thinking and a change in lifestyle. Morning walks,
yoga, and meditation have all been shown to be effective treatments for
mental health. Aside from that, it is critical to maintain a healthy diet and get
enough sleep. On average, a person requires 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night.
When someone is tired but unable to sleep, it is a sign that their mental
health is unstable. Overworking can cause not only physical exhaustion but
also significant mental exhaustion. As a result, people experience insomnia,
and anxiety is another symptom.
SYMPTOMS
 There are numerous symptoms of mental health issues that vary from person to person as well as
between different types of issues. Panic attacks and racing thoughts, for example, are common side
effects. As a result of this mental strain, a person may experience chest pains and difficulty breathing.
A lack of focus is another sign of poor mental health. It happens when you have too much going on in
your life at once and start making careless mistakes, resulting in a loss of your ability to focus
effectively.

 Surround yourself with people who understand and respect your situation. This practice will help you
deal with the illness successfully. Improve your mental health knowledge in order to receive the
assistance you require to deal with the problem. Connect with other people, family, and friends to get
emotional support.
CONCLUSION
 The mind is one of the most powerful organs in the body, controlling how all
other organs work. When our minds become unstable, the entire functioning
of our bodies suffers. Being physically and emotionally fit is essential for
success in all areas of life. People should be aware of the consequences of
mental illness and should place as much emphasis on keeping the mind
healthy as they do on keeping the physical body healthy. Mental and physical
health are strongly intertwined. Only when both are in balance can we say
that a person is perfectly healthy and well. As a result, it is critical for
everyone to strive for a balance of mental and physical well-being and to
seek help when needed.
