Mental health relates most directly with the functioning of our minds, that is, with our situation, thoughts, emotions and behavior. It also frequently relates to our physical health, as mental health can have an impact on physical health and vice versa.

Other things that may have an impact on your mental health is your family history, history of general medical illness (like diabetes, PCOS, thyroid problems, HIV, cancer, etc.), pre-existing mental illness (for instance, a person living with depression may be more likely to experience suicidal thoughts/behaviours), severe or long-term stress, social disadvantage (as may be experienced within members of minority communities), poverty or debt, etc.

If the ongoing state of your thoughts, emotions or behavior is having an impact on your ability to function on a daily basis, you may schedule a session with us here. or learn more about mental health through articles written by mental health experts.
