Mental Health in the Workplace

As with physical health, we all have mental health.

Mental health is a term used to describe our emotional and psychological wellbeing. Our mental health can impact how we behave and how we handle stressful situations.

It is important not to confuse mental health with mental illness. For example, someone can be experiencing a period of poor mental health without having a diagnosed mental illness. Someone with a mental illness may experience the same symptoms as someone with poor mental health, but in the case of mental illness, it is something which often occurs over a long period of time and frequently impacts a person’s ability to function.
