Mental health affects how we think, feel and cope with daily life. Like physical health, it benefits from regular care.

  • Stay connected: make time for people who make you feel supported.
  • Move your body: regular activity can lift mood and ease stress.
  • Keep a routine: regular sleep and mealtimes add stability.
  • Limit alcohol: it can worsen low mood and anxiety.
  • Do things you enjoy: hobbies, time outdoors or learning something new.
  • Talk about it: sharing worries with someone you trust can ease the load.

See a doctor if low mood, anxiety or changes in sleep or appetite last more than two weeks or interfere with daily life. If you have thoughts of harming yourself, seek help immediately by calling your local emergency number or a crisis line (in the US, call or text 988).
