Mental Health: Is it really something to care about?


If we were to define ''Mental Health'' it will usually refer to a person's overall psychological well-being, encompassing their emotional, social, and cognitive state. It relates to how an individual thinks, feels, and behaves, as well as their ability to cope with the ups and downs of life, handle stress, maintain relationships, and make decisions. To answer the question ''What causes 'Mental Health' problems?'' we cannot pinpoint and state that there is only one cause of it, a person's mental health can be affected by various factors, such as genetics, environment, life experiences, other biological and neurological factors.

Anytime 'Mental Health' is brought up in a conversation, the first thought in the listeners mind might be 'Is it really worth to be worried about?', 'Is it really important?' First and foremost, good mental health allows us to lead a happy and healthy life. It helps us to maintain a healthy relationship with our friends and family, we can overcome many obstacles and be stress free too. Secondly, mental health affects our physical health greatly too and the negative sides of it are too great to just not care about. When we are under stress, or anxious, or depressed, our body releases stress hormones which can weaken our immune system and make us more susceptible to illnesses. So, to avoid contracting chronic illnesses it's essential we look after our mental health. Moreover, mental health also affects our productivity and performance. When we are mentally healthy, we are able to concentrate more, be more creative, solve problems faster and much more. However, for a person with poor mental health, these simple actions get negatively affected which may lead to poor productivity level, absenteeism, poor performance and even job loss in some cases.

However, the greatest thing mental health affects is our relationships. Poor mental health will affect how we communicate with our friends and family, in most cases, people suffering from mental health are afraid to open up to someone. As a result, the person suffering and their loved ones fail to understand their needs, and emotions, and so they fail to provide and gain proper support and help. Thus, we can clearly see how important mental health is to a person's life, it is a must that we should take all the necessary measures to care for our mental health for our betterment, the positive of our society and our loved ones.

Traveling helps us to increase our experience and knowledge regarding nature, culture and native communities. I have loved exploring nature since I was a child, which is how I developed the habit of traveling.

It was winter and the weather was cold. However we were so mesmerized by the view that we became speechless.  All the arduous jo
