Mental health can be defined as having the necessary emotional and psychological well-being to enjoy life, manage stress, and develop meaningful relationships. Disorders such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and ADHD negatively impact mental health and can be difficult to manage. Additionally, having a mental health disorder may increase the risk of developing other diseases, including type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease.[1][2] [3]
