Don’t Wait – Get Mental Health Help When You Need It
Date: 06/29/26
Mental health is an important part of your overall health. It affects how you think, feel and act. Everyone has times when they feel sad or stressed, but when these feelings last a long time or affect your daily life, it might be time to get help.
Some of the most common mental health disorders include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Eating Disorders
Here are a few simple ways you can care for your mental health every day that can make a difference over time:
- Getting enough sleep each night.
- Eating healthy foods and staying hydrated.
- Staying active – even if it is just going for a short walk a day.
- Taking breaks when you’re stressed.
- Talking to someone you trust about what you’re feeling – whether that is a family member, school counselor or doctor.
- It is also important to listen to friends or family who may open up to you about what they are going through with their mental health. Listen without judging and show that you care. Ask questions about what you can do to help them.
