Wellbeing vs Mental Illness
Wellbeing refers to a state of overall social and emotional wellbeing and happiness, while mental health focuses on the brain’s functioning, illness, and the ability to think, feel, and act; they are related but independent concepts, and one can have high wellbeing even with a mental illness, or low wellbeing without illness.
– Holistic approach to improving mental wellbeing.
– Understanding of various factors that impact wellbeing (social, cultural, financial, etc) and when/how to seek help.
