THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH IN MODERN SOCIETY

In today’s society, mental health is a topic frequently discussed. With the extent of changes in our daily lives in recent years, driven by factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the increasing integration of technology into our daily routines, and social pressures, attention to the mental well-being of every individual in society has grown. While some sceptics view it as a topic that is given more attention than it deserves, we must acknowledge the impact that this highly subjective factor has both on every individual within the community we live in and on society as a whole. Mental health has a profound effect on the development of personal life, but it also clearly influences individual performance in academic and professional settings. The well-being of each person and of society, in general, is closely linked to thriving mental health; however, this topic remains stigmatized and often insufficiently addressed.
