Mental Health Q & A
Mental health refers to conditions that affect your feelings, mood, or thinking. Your mental health condition may affect how you interact with others or your ability to manage everyday activities. Mental health conditions affect everyone differently, even those with the same diagnosis.
There are many factors that affect your mental health, including environment, genetics, and various events that occur throughout your life. A traumatic event, or even stress from your job, can trigger a mental health crisis.
With the right treatment, you can manage your condition if not make a full recover.
