What Mental Health Is
According to the Department of Health and Aged Care, mental health is “a state of wellbeing that enables you to deal with what life throws at you”.
Just as physical health allows you to resist illnesses, recover from injuries, and participate in daily activities, mental health equips you to:
- Manage life’s regular stresses.
- Build and maintain positive relationships.
- Make sound, rational decisions.
- Stay productive and engaged in your personal and professional life.

How Do You Know if You Need Mental Health Support?
When you experience physical symptoms—like a headache, stomach ache, or fever—you instinctively know it’s time to see a doctor.
But when it comes to mental health, it’s not always so clear.
Many people wait until they feel overwhelmed or unable to cope before seeking help, but just as with physical health, addressing mental health early can make a huge difference.
If you are feeling:
- Persistent sadness or hopelessness
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Drastic changes in sleep patterns or appetite
- Increased irritability or mood swings
- Social withdrawal or avoidance
- Physical symptoms like unexplained aches or fatigue
These could be signs that your mental health needs attention.
👉 Seeking support doesn’t always mean you’re facing a crisis.
Like going to the doctor for a check-up or treatment of physical ailments, reaching out for mental health care helps you maintain balance and wellbeing.
Remember, just as we wouldn’t ignore a sore throat or injury, we shouldn’t ignore signs of mental distress.
If you’re unsure whether you need support, a professional consultation can help you understand where you stand and what steps to take.
