Mental health is a key part of your overall wellbeing. It helps you cope with stress, enjoy relationships, and live a full life.Good mental health also supports your physical health — poor mental health can increase the risk of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and chronic pain. It affects how well you function at work, at home, and in your community. It also plays a big role in the quality of your relationships.
By looking after our mental health and reducing stigma, we help everyone live better, healthier lives.
Depression is a common but serious mental health condition that causes ongoing sadness and a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy. It can affect how you feel, think, and cope with everyday life — including sleep, appetite, energy, and relationships.
It’s not something you can just snap out of, as it’s linked to a chemical imbalance in the brain that affects mood and motivation. With the right support, depression can be managed and treated.
