How often do you check in on your mental health? We all know the importance of physical health—eating well and staying active—but mental health often gets sidelined. Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and handle stress. When neglected, it can lead to issues such as anxiety, depression, or burnout, impacting every aspect of life. Yet, despite its importance, many people remain silent about their struggles due to the stigma. This lack of awareness means fewer people seek help when they need it most.
