Mental Health Virginia

Your mental health will impact your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in everyday life situations. It can also affect your ability to cope with stress, build relationships, and recover from setbacks and hardships in your life. Leading a mentally and emotionally healthy life means more than avoiding depression, anxiety, or other psychological issues. Individuals with the best mental health have:

• A sense of contentment with their life
• A zest for living
• The ability to laugh and enjoy themselves
• The ability to deal with stress thoughts and situations 
• Acquire meaning and purpose in their activities and relationships.
• The ability to adapt to changes and learn new skills.
• The ability to maintain a balance between work, play, rest, and other activities.
