What is mental health?

Mental health encompasses your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and how they affect your decision-making ability, connect with others, and build a satisfying life.

Your mental, social, and physical health are intertwined, so a problem in one affects the others. Additionally, your mental health is strongly influenced by many factors, from the challenges of daily life and life experiences to genetics and brain chemical imbalances.

Who needs mental health services?

Many people seek mental health services because they’re stressed, need help making a life decision, or feel overwhelmed by everyday problems. Mental health care helps you cope with trauma, separation from your partner, a health crisis, and grief.

Parents often consult mental health professionals when they need help managing a child’s behavioral or emotional problems. Children and teens also benefit from mental health care when struggling with bullying, peer pressure, stress, and difficulty socializing.

Counseling and medication management are essential treatments for people with:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Insomnia
• Low self-esteem
• Bipolar disorder
• Substance use disorder
• Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs)
