We all have to look after mental health, as well as our physical health and the way we live our lives has a direct influence on both. We can change to improve or maintain good health by taking care of our diet, sleep, being recreational, physical exercise, sharing about our feelings to a trustworthy friend or your college’s student counsellor to make a difference in our mental health.
