Mental Wellness Month

January is Mental Wellness Month. 

"The main purpose of Mental Wellness Month is to highlight the importance of taking care of our mental health even before issues begin to develop. In a way, it is for preventing mental health problems from developing in the first place. The public health and awareness campaign also informs the public on how to improve mental wellness and eliminate threats to mental wellness.

Many aspects of daily life can have a negative effect on mental wellness. In some cases, they can even trigger the development of mental illness in people who have certain physical or psychological risk factors. Just like other illnesses, those that are connected to mental health can occur in people of any age gender, race or socioeconomic status. There are numerous mental disorders that can manifest in different degrees from mild to severe. What should be kept in mind is that treatment is available and there is always possibility of recovery."
