Understanding Mental Health
Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences how we think, feel, and act, affecting our ability to handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Maintaining mental health is essential at every stage of life, from childhood through adulthood.
Common Mental Health Challenges
In Ireland, many individuals experience mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders. These conditions can stem from various factors, including personal experiences, biological factors, and environmental influences.

The Role of Social Rights in Mental Health
This year’s European Mental Health Week theme emphasises the role of social rights in mental well-being. Access to quality education, stable employment, adequate housing, and social support are fundamental rights that significantly impact mental health. Addressing these social determinants is crucial for fostering a mentally healthy society.
