Mental health problems refer to a range of issues that can affect how we think, feel, and behave. These problems can include feelings of sadness, worry, or stress that make it hard to do everyday activities. Sometimes, mental health problems can affect our relationships with friends and family or make it difficult to focus at school.
Common examples include anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. It's important to understand that having mental health problems is not uncommon and that support is available through talking to trusted adults or professionals like counsellors and doctors. Recognising and understanding mental health issues is an important part of maintaining overall well-being.
