Every other person you know is suffering from some form of mental illness. So, what exactly is mental health? According to the WHO, mental health is defined as social, psychological, and emotional well-being. If a person is free from mental illness but socially, psychologically, and emotionally weak, then he is not considered a mentally sound individual.

Reasons For the Degrading Mental Health of People
According to me, our history has the answer. The East India Company had ruled over us for more than 200 years. They impose their culture and tradition on us and make our culture inferior. This had greatly affected the mentality of the Indian people.From there on, we start copying their style so as to look like equals. But till now we are copying them, and hence we adopt their bad things too. All mental health problems are the result of adopting Western culture.
Today, Western culture is in our roots. But we can’t abandon all these products and culture in the 21st century; however, living a peaceful life is still in our hands.
So, start living every day as if you're gonna die the very next day. Be fearless and choose your peace over anything. Just live your life to the fullest.
Understanding mental health from the very basics is the first step toward building a stronger, healthier, and more balanced life. By increasing awareness, breaking stigmas, and adopting simple self-care practices, you empower yourself to take charge of your overall well-being. Start your mental well-being journey here and take small, consistent steps that can make a big difference in your everyday life.
