I'm confused and stressed! I can't take it anymore.
Mom, I saw Erika crying on her room. She's over acting.
Maybe your sister is struggling with her mental health. Don't tease her.
Why Is mental health important Mom?
Mental health is important at every stage of life from childhood, adolescence and to adulthood.
It affects how we think, feel and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress and make healthy choices.
You don't know what she is dealing with so don't judge her. It is better that we help her to improve her mental health.
Okay Mom I'm sorry.
It's okay dear.
Mental health problems affect about 1 in 10 children and young people. They include depression, anxiety and conduct disorder, and are often a direct response to what is happening in their lives. The emotional well-being of children is just as important as their physical health. Good mental health allows children and young people to develop the resilience to cope with whatever life throws at them and grow into well-rounded, healthy adults.
