What is mental health?

Mental health is a crucial and often overlooked component of your well-being. Mental health includes the behavioral, emotional, and social aspects of an individual. It influences how you think, act, and process activities. Mental health contributes to healthy relationships, stress, and physical health. 

Poor mental health is not synonymous with having a mental illness or disorder. That is an important distinction that dictates how treatment is administered.

What affects my mental health? 

The state of your mental health is often the combination of several factors, including:

• Traumatic experiences 
• Living life with a chronic disease
• Genetic factors
• Lifestyle quality
• Substance abuse
• Family history

You can manage and improve these contributors through mental health treatment. It may take time to figure out the causes of your mental health challenges. But you can feel secure knowing the team at CommunityMD is committed to aiding your mental health journey. 

Why is my mental health important?

Mental health is linked to several chronic conditions. Poor mental health and quality of life are associated with the development of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. When you neglect your mental health, you also neglect your physical well-being. 

How is mental health treated?

There is no one size fits all answer when treating your mental health or mental illness. Treatment options are specific to you to meet your unique needs. The mental health practitioner remedies poor mental health with a variety of techniques. Therapy is a fantastic tool that helps to uncover root causes. 

Additionally, coping mechanisms and stress management techniques are impactful methods to improve your mental health. In cases where biology impedes daily activities, medications may also be prescribed to aid in the recovery process.
