What Does It Mean to Have a Healthy Mind?

A healthy mind allows you to think clearly, manage your emotions, and cope with the ups and downs of life. It’s about feeling good about yourself, maintaining healthy relationships, and being able to deal with stress, changes, and challenges. Just like physical health, mental health isn’t about feeling great all the time—it’s about having the tools and resilience to bounce back when things don’t go as planned.
