Mental health refers to your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how you think, feel, act, manage stress, relate to others, and make decisions. Mental health is essential for overall wellness. It helps you cope with stress, maintain relationships, perform at work or school, and reduce the risk of chronic physical illnesses. In primary care, mental health includes early screening, diagnosis, treatment, medication management, and referrals for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and sleep disorders. Poor mental health can contribute to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, weakened immunity, chronic pain, and fatigue.

A noticeable change in behavior, mood, energy, or functioning that lasts more than two weeks. If unwelcome thoughts or emotions persist, interfere with daily life, or include thoughts of self-harm, professional help should be sought immediately.

It can be harmful when overused, but mindful use can provide education, support groups, and connection. It may contribute to cyberbullying, unrealistic expectations, body image issues, addiction, and emotional burnout. Exercise releases endorphins, reduces stress hormones, improves sleep, boosts mood, and supports brain health. Walking, yoga, cycling, swimming, strength training—any activity you enjoy and can do consistently. Smoking may temporarily relieve stress but worsens anxiety, depression, and addiction over time. Moderate gaming can reduce stress, improve mood, enhance social connection, and provide relaxation when balanced with daily responsibilities.
