Mental Health is confined to our state of mind and our ability to cope up with everyday things and events that is going on around us. People with ‘good’ Mental Health usually feel themselves capable of dealing with everyday situations and unpredictable circumstances. It  includes our emotional, psychological and social behavior. It changes the way of our thinking, feeling and reaction upon things. It also helps determine how we tackle stress, relate to others, and make decisions. Mental Health is important at every phase of life. When we are Mentally Healthy we act like the following ways:

What happens in the Brain?


Scientists who study Mental illness believe an imbalance in brain chemicals that lead to the development of many disorders. Researchers suspect that this imbalance affects the brain’s ability to move a message from neuron to neuron and for the brain’s wiring to function normally. As a result of these changes, the brain may not communicate properly with the body, and a person may begin to show signs of Mental illness.

There are many types of psychotherapy, each with its own approach to improving your Mental Health. Psychotherapy often can be successfully completed in a few months, but in some cases, long-term treatment may be needed. It can take place one-on-one, in a group or with family members.
