Depression
We all have mental health, and it is just as important as our physical health. Mental health can be simple things such as feeling well and not well.
Mental health is how we feel and what we do, which is always changing.
When we feel good, we can enjoy being with others and wanting to take part in activities. But when we are struggling, we will start to become tired more quickly, meaning our moods and ourselves become not what we think.
What is a mental health problem?
Everyone has their good and their bad days, which is completely normal and OK. However, when those negative thoughts start to take over, then it’s maybe time to get support.
Everyone can feel worried or anxious for things such as an interview or a big meeting. It’s when we feel these feelings all the time, that maybe we should look for help.
