Mental Health
We all experience ups and downs in our mental health - at times we may feel really down and low, other times we may feel happy and balanced. A mental illness is when ongoing signs and symptoms cause frequent stress and affect your ability to function. Some people experience a mental health problem which also affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, but to a lesser extent than a mental illness.
