If you have mental health issues, they may have an impact on your thinking, mood, and behavior over the course of your life. There are numerous elements that affect mental health issues, such as:

• biological factors, such as DNA or brain chemistry; • a family history of mental illness
• Experiences with trauma or abuse in life
• a history of mental illness in the family

Despite the fact that there is help accessible, mental health problems are common. People with mental health problems can get better, and many of them recover completely.

The patient has to engage closely with a physician who can assist them in determining their needs and offering appropriate therapy.

How to keep your mental health in check?

Self-care techniques can boost a person’s mental health by lowering their chance of getting sick, boosting their energy, and controlling their stress. To help someone start their self-care regimen, the NIMH provides numerous tips:

Exercise on a regular basis: Exercise for 45 minutes, three to five times per week, can greatly enhance mental health.

Maintain hydration and eat a balanced diet: Maintaining hydration and eating a good, balanced meal can help you feel energetic all day long.

Aim for high-quality sleep: A 2021 analysis of numerous studies discovered that higher increases in a person’s mental health were correlated with more notable improvements in sleep quality.
