What does mental health mean to you? Well, what is physical health? It's how your body is functioning. Good physical health, which is also known as wellness, is more than the absence of illness.
Wellness is when all of the systems of your body are functioning at their best levels. Mental health affects physical health, so if you lack emotional wellness, all of the systems of your body aren't functioning at their best levels.
To me, Mental Health Awareness Month is about understanding that you can't be physically well unless you are emotionally well. Whatever it takes to get there, it is never too late to address your mental wellness.
You can find a mental health professional by using one of these websites:
