The definition above is exactly what you'll read when you search up 'mental health'. It's not exactly in simple English! So what is mental health and why is it important?

​

Nicky Lidbetter, Anxiety UK’s CEO, says; "Mental health is a term used to describe psychological and emotional health or to put it another way, 'wellbeing'.   Mental health doesn't stay the same; it changes as we experience different issues and are exposed to various circumstances in life.  When a person is enjoying 'good mental health' they will feel able to 'cope', participate fully in life with an ability to reach their full potential."
