Understanding the importance of good mental health in your overall wellness is vital. In this shortened segment – adapted from ReMark’s Five Pillars of Health white paper – we explore what impacts mental health and the risks of not taking care of yours.
Our mental health is integral to all aspects of our health, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) declaring that ‘there is no health without mental health’.[1]
It defines mental health as ‘a general state of well-being in which the individual realises 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’.[2]
