What is Mental Health?

We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health. Being mentally healthy means that we feel good about ourselves, make and keep positive relationships with others and can feel and manage the full range of emotions. Good mental health allows us to cope with life's ups and downs, to feel in control of our lives and to ask for help from others when we need support.
