men·tal h/noun-a person’s condition with regard to their psychological and emotional well-being

"all this pressure seems to be affecting his mental health

Mental health, defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), is "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community". According to WHO, mental health includes "subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, intergenerational dependence, and self-actualization of one's intellectual and emotional potential, among others". From the perspectives of positive psychology or of holism, mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life and to create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how one defines "mental health"."./ealthntal health".

There are different types of mental health that needs to be address. Some people wanted to get rid of their mental illness but doesn't know how to cope up it's because of the toxic traits of people around them. Mental illness—are health conditions involving changes in emotion, thinking or behavior (or a combination of these). Mental illnesses are associated with distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities.

People, mental illness is a serious matter and needs to be consulted, don't blame people or judge people as if they are just pretending having their mental problems. We should be considerate when giving our words and phrases to those people who's suffering. It is indeed valid but some of us today are making fun of it or just simply treating this serious case as a joke. There's no joke when up to this topic.
