What Is Poor Mental Health?

Poor mental health doesn’t mean you are weak or broken. It means your mind is struggling, just like your body might when you’re sick. Some signs of poor mental health include:

• Feeling sad or hopeless for long periods.

• Losing interest in things you once loved.

• Struggling to sleep or sleeping too much.

• Feeling anxious, stressed, or constantly worried.

• Lack of energy and motivation.

• Overthinking or negative self-talk.

If you relate to any of these, it’s time to take your mental health seriously. Small steps can make a big difference. Talking to a friend, journaling, exercising, or even reading a good book can help you heal. You don’t have to figure everything out overnight. One step at a time is enough.
