As a former minister responsible for mental health, I advocated for a nuanced approach to addressing mental wellbeing. It's essential to distinguish between normal reactions to stressful situations and genuine mental health issues. By doing so, we can work towards a more balanced understanding of mental health, one that promotes resilience and coping strategies. This approach can help reduce stigma and encourage individuals to develop the skills needed to navigate life's challenges. Key aspects of mental health support include stress management, emotional intelligence, and access to professional help when needed.
