Understanding mental health and teenagers

Mental health is something that includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being which affects how we think, feel and act. World Health Organization ( WHO) has conceptualised mental health as— a state of well-being in which the individual realises his or her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and can contribute to his or her community. Thus, mental health is constantly affecting our decision-making and problem-solving activities which is crucial for teenagers as they keep ageing.

Why do you think young people in today’s generation are facing severe depression, excessive stress, fatigue, and anxiety? Well, it is definitely because of poor mental health that has been supported by life events, genetics, and biochemical imbalances.
