everyone has mental health
Mental health disorders are real conditions that affect how a person thinks, feels, and acts. Just like physical health conditions affect the body. Everyone has mental health, and sometimes it needs extra care. These challenges can look like long-lasting sadness or worry, trouble focusing, overwhelming fear, extreme mood shifts, or difficulty handling everyday stress. Common examples include anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, eating disorders, and more. None of these mean someone is “broken” or “weak”, they’re simply health issues many people experience. This page is here to explain these topics in a clear, supportive way so anyone can understand what they are and why taking care of your mental health matters.
