Mental health encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing how we think, feel, and act. It involves managing stress, maintaining relationships, and contributing to communities, going beyond the absence of mental illness. Dr. Christina Watlington, a clinical psychologist, emphasizes addressing issues like depression, anxiety, and trauma through psychotherapy and proactive self-care, including the CARE approach. She also underscores the impact of generational trauma on well-being. Focusing on mental health enables individuals to realize their potential, cope with challenges, and lead fulfilling lives.
