General information health and well-being:
Mental health is the health of your mind. When you think of health, you usually think of your physical health. If you want to feel fitter, you start to exercise, you go to bed earlier, you quit smoking or you start eating healthier. But did you know that taking care of your mind is just as important? When you are feeling both physically and mentally well, you will function better, you will be more positive in life, you will suffer less from stress and you can deal with problems more efficiently (source: ggd).
