Mental health is a central concern of psychology, encompassing emotional, cognitive, and social well-being. It influences how individuals cope with stress, relate to others, make decisions, and achieve life goals. Mental health is not merely the absence of mental illness but the presence of resilience, life satisfaction, and adaptive functioning. Understanding and promoting mental health is essential for individuals and society alike.
