Mental health concerns the domain of your emotional and mental well-being. This has a strong bearing on your physical health as well and has been thus recognized—as seen in the WHO’s comprehensive definition of health which defines health as being a state of “...physical, mental, and social well-being.”
The definition has also clarified that health does not merely mean the absence of disease—making the realization of health an active exercise, to include those requisites that make attainment of complete health possible.
As you deal with the changes and onslaughts that life throws at you, learning to cope with stress and other negative emotions is essential to stay sane and balanced in your outlook.
This section deals with certain mental issues that can arise in the course of one’s life as women in the many arenas of life—work, home, pregnancy, children, and the personal sphere. Expert opinion has been sought to provide guidance in coping with these manifold issues. |
