Articles on Emotional Health

Mental or emotional health refers to your overall psychological well-being. It includes the way you feel about yourself, the quality of your relationships and your ability to manage your feelings and deal with difficulties.  Being mentally or emotionally healthy is much more than being free of depression, anxiety, or other psychological issues. Rather than the absence of mental illness, mental and emotional health refers to the presence of positive characteristics.  Mentally and emotionally healthy people have a general sense of contentment, resiliency to bounce back from adversity, the ability to laugh and have fun, a sense of meaning or purpose in life, flexibility to learn and adapt to change, the capacity to maintain a balance in the different areas of their lives and an overall self-confidence.
