What is mental health?

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act as we cope with life. Good mental health is not just the absence of mental health disorders. It means you are in a state of well-being where you feel good and function well in the world.

What are mental health disorders?

Mental health disorders, or mental illnesses, are conditions that influence a person’s thinking, feelings, mood, or behaviour. These conditions can be intermittent or chronic, impacting an individual’s capacity to interact with others and perform daily functions.

Common examples include:

Depression: A disorder that involves a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.
Anxiety Disorders: These disorders involve excessive fear or anxiety that affects daily activities, for example, generalised anxiety disorder and panic disorder.

What types of mental health support do you offer?
