A person's well-being does not only depend on psychological and emotional aspects, but also on fundamental conditions such as physical health, social support, and living conditions. In addition to individual aspects, mental health is also determined by social, environmental, and economic aspects.

Mental health is not something isolated; it is also influenced by the environment around us. This means that it must be considered that mental health results from the interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors. It can be said that mental health has biopsychosocial characteristics.

Understanding mental health as something that involves the body, emotions, and the way we interact helps us see that everyone has an important role in taking care of everyone's well-being, taking care of ourselves, and supporting each other.
