Mental health is a state of mind characterised by emotional well-being, good behavioural adjustment, relative freedom from anxiety and disabling symptoms, and a capacity to establish constructive relationships and cope with the ordinary demands and stresses of life.

Up until now, people seems to misunderstood the concept of mental health despite of different seminars and information about mental health.

#Myth 1: Mental health problems can’t affect me, it’s caused by personality weakness or character flaws.

#Myth 2: People with mental illness are violent and “crazy.”

#Myth 3: Children don't experience mental health problems, and it is impossible to prevent mental illnesses.

#Myth 4: There is no hope for people with mental health problems. Once a friend or family member develops mental health problems, he or she will never recover.

#Myth 5: It’s better to keep it a secret than seek help and get stigmatized.


Simply put, it involves our psychological, emotional, and social well being. It affects how we behave, interact with our society, handle issues and make decisions.

People should understand what mental health issues are and how important it is.

We must stop having this kind of minset for those people who does have mental illness. Let's be open and helpful for the person who needs us.

Check out your family and friends, maybe one of them are having trouble with their self and they need someone to lean on
