Mental health is sanity.
A lot of us struggle with mental health issues but never speak up about it due to the fear of rejection or societal stigma. Some of us have friends and family members who face or live in mentally or physically unhealthy situations on a daily basis.
Social media and work environment have helped create awareness for mental health. The productivity of an employee can be attributed to their mental health of the individual.
“Don’t be the reason someone goes home and want to kill themselves.” We should be sensitive about our comments to one another. Ignorance is no excuse.
