Don’t Be Afraid To Reach Out, Maldivian Red Crescent Is Here To Help You.

Mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and abundantly, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community, according to the World Health Organization. From the perspectives of positive psychology, mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life and to create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Some early signs related mental health problems are sleep irritation, lack of energy and suicidal thinking. All which contributes to anxiety, depression and feeling lonely and helpless.

For such dark times, don’t step back in asking for help as one only asks for help not because they are weak, but because they need and want to remain strong.
