Defined, mental health has to do with our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It helps determine how we handle stress and affects how we think, feel and act.

Some examples of mental health disorders include anxiety, mood disorders such as depression, eating disorders and trauma-related disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorders.
