What is Mental Health

Mental wellbeing describes your mental state - how you are feeling and how well you can cope with day-to-day life. Our mental wellbeing is dynamic. It can change from moment to moment, day to day, month to month or year to year.

A diagnosable illness which:

• affects a person’s thinking, emotional state and behaviour, and

• disrupts the person’s ability to:

- work

- carry out daily activities, and

- engage in satisfying relationships.
