Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It encompasses who we feel we are, how we perceive our environment, and how we interact with that environment. It influences how we handle stress, relate to others, and how we make choices. Mental and emotional well-being is critical at every stage in our lives, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Our experiences throughout our lives influence that mental health picture. Ruptures in our attachments, traumas, and other difficulties can result in challenges to our well-being that, at times, interfere with our daily functioning.
