The Key to Preserving Mental Health
BY: Neighbors’ Consejo|
In an era where mental health challenges are increasingly prevalent, understanding and implementing strategies for preservation and care is paramount. In this article we try to show you the contemporary approaches, highlighting the importance of proactive measures, innovative therapies, and societal support in maintaining mental wellbeing.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC[1] ), “mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.”
