Mental health

Mental health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being in which individuals realize their own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and are able to make a contribution to their community. - World Health Organization (WHO)

Mental health issues have reached epidemic proportions among those in academia, with approximately 50% of graduate and professional students suffering from depression or anxiety. - Dragonfly Mental Health
