Mental Health
Mental Health is an essential part of your overall health and wellbeing.
Good mental health means that you are able to recognize your own abilities, adapt to the normal stresses of life, work productively, and contribute to your community. Several social, psychological, and biological factors determine the degree of emotional wellbeing you might experience at any given time.
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Being in a bad mood or feeling sad because something terrible happened is part of a normal, emotionally balanced human life. There are different types of depression and Major Depressive Disorder or MDD is one of them. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a long-lasting, biologically based mood disorder.
