Mental health is a topic that many people do not take seriously and may not even think about day to day. I think that mental health is something that is very important and is the thing that pushes you to do your best. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. This affects how we act, feel, and think. This can also help us handle stress and make certain choices in our life. Mental health is important yet different in every stage of life– from childhood to adolescences all the way through adulthood. There can be factors that contribute to how your mental health works or this can just come as you get older. Some factors include- family history, a trauma, and your genes. Mental health is very common, especially in many college students.
Positive mental health allows people to:
- Realize that they are awesome and can do what they want
- How to work efficiently

- Ask for help!! Its ok!!
Ways to maintain positive mental health include:
- Staying healthy
- Connecting with your peers
- STAYING POSITIVE!!
- Never giving up
- Helping other people

I think that talking to someone is a great thing- weather it be a councilor, friend, parent, or teacher- especially during these times.
Some conditions of mental health are:
