Mental Health - The Basics

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Mental health is something that we all have and it’s something that can have a big impact on our lives, and the lives of those around us. We all have mental health – and it exists on a scale of good to poor, just like our physical health. A person who is considered ‘mentally healthy’ is able to make the most of their potential, deal with the stresses of life, and function personally, socially, and at work. It is important to understand your mental health can change as circumstances change and as you move through different chapters of your life. It is not a static thing – it can change throughout our life.

This is particularly important in the workplace or a team environment.

It’s believed that as many as one in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem at some point. You may see mental health problems referred to as mental illnesses, mental health conditions, or something similar. Some people prefer for different terms to be used – so if you know that someone prefers to talk about their problem in a certain way, try to support them with this and be mindful of your language choices.

Can you recover from a mental health problem?

Yes. It is possible to recover from mental health problems – although recovery can mean different things to different people. For some people, recovery might mean overcoming or reducing certain symptoms. For others, it canmean learning to manage symptoms and gaining back more control over life. There are a number of treatment and support options that can help people on their recovery journey. The most common types of treatment people receive in the UK are talking therapies (like psychotherapy and counselling) and medication.
