Mental Health Awareness Month -May, 2023.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. In fact, they are both equally important for overall health. 

Mental health is the state of our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It affects how we think, feel, and act. Physical health is the state of our body. It affects how our body functions, looks and feels.

There is a strong relationship between mental health and physical health. When one is not in good shape, the other is usually not either. 

Poor mental health can lead to poor physical health, and vice versa.

Some common ways that mental health and physical health are connected are:

• People with poor mental health are more likely to have poor physical health.
• People with poor physical health are more likely to have poor mental health.
• People with good mental health are more likely to have good physical health.
• People with good physical health are more likely to have good mental health.
