Overview

Concept of Mental Health

A sense of connectedness is about enjoying life, coping with stress and sadness, reaching goals, and having a sense of purpose. Mental health is not just the absence of mental health conditions; it is more about wellness rather than illness.”

Benefits of Staying Well

Research shows that mental health has been linked to higher learning, creativity, productivity, and pro-social behaviour, as well as improved physical health and life expectancy. Nevertheless, mental health conditions can negatively impact day-to-day functioning and relationships. The conditions are also linked to poor physical health and premature death.

Children and young people’s mental health is an area of healthcare that is getting greater attention from public and professional service providers in the UK. Mental health difficulties affect many children, with around 11-17 year-olds being more likely to experience problems such as depression, anxiety or self-harm than other age groups. Many factors have been implicated, including increased pressure to succeed and worry about future life-threatening events such as terrorist attacks.
