Two of the most common mental health disorders among people in the world are Depression and Anxiety. Both share a biological basis. Persistent states of anxiety or low moods like those experienced by people with clinical anxiety and mood disorders involve changes in neurotransmitter function. Low serotonin levels are thought to play a role in both, along with other brain chemicals such as dopamine and epinephrine.

Even though in the last couple of years a lot has been talked about self-harm with a lot of people, especially young, sharing their personal accounts, the reality is that there is so much more that people don't know about self-harm. 

A lot has been said and discussed about physical well- being but there is not enough conversation around mental well-being.  Being mentally fit is very important as it also controls how our body functions. World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health as: “A state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.”

When we practice good mental health habits, it is easier to handle stress and other problems. Read this article to Learn about different ways to build good mental health.
