Problem or Opportunity
Our mental health encompasses our psychological, emotional and social well-being. This means it impacts how we feel, think and behave each day. Our mental health also contributes to our decision-making process, how we cope with stress and how we relate to others in our lives and in our professional life. Mental health problems affect around one in four people (world-wide) in any given year. Once someone is diagnosed with a mental disorder then either they are prescribed drugs or offered therapy, by then it is too late. It is a reactive approach whereas we need to be more proactive.
