Dear Sir:

The Canada Health Act oversees healthcare in Canada. The purpose of the Healthcare Act is to
guard the psychological wellbeing of the people of Canada and ensure easy entrée to healthcare
facilities notwithstanding of individual aspects such as earnings, education of social disparities.
With subsidy from the national government, regions need to offer treatment for health services
that are deemed as ‘medically necessary’ to maintain good health, preventing disease outbreaks,
and treat an injury or incapacity.
Mental health is vital for Canadians, and everyone at large.it is an essential resource for
living a good life and a primary factor for the overall health. Poor mental health can easily lead
to physical illness. Good mental health makes it possible for a person to think, feel, and act in
ways that would help him enjoy life and cope with its challenges. It is vital to build a supportive
community to improve mental health. It is also vital to have meaningful connections with family
friends, peers, colleagues and other members of the communities. Good mental health will make
a person feel that they belong; they are secure and free to express their thoughts and feeling of
issues that are important to them. A person can create good mental health from where they live;
work or play by accepting and accommodating other peoples difficulties in their lives, taking
part in the local events and familiarizing with your neighbors, finding ways to get involved in
societal wellbeing and taking part in societal work, supporting people of different ages and
backgrounds in the community among others. Mental health is a vital health factor since it assists
a person to increase the coping skills and how people handle hard life experiences and stresses,
leads to the improvement in self-esteem whereby one feels confident in their worth and
capabilities and also improves resilience in how they move on after they face an adverse event or
how they regain control in their life. Good mental health leads to improvement in the way in
which people cope with skills, self-esteem and encourages persons to create healthy relations,

interact with the community members freely and talk openly about their mental health including
their needs and wants. Once a person is confident in the areas, as mentioned earlier, their
emotional strength can improve and assist the person in maintaining the level of mental health
required.
The issue concerning medical health among Canadians is important because since the
scope and attention of ‘medically necessary’ have faced several protests in the recent past. There
are several; services in the country that are partially funded. Most Canadians have been
encountering this gap when they visit mental professionals where only partial coverage is done.
Several opinions have been raised concerning the existence of mental wellbeing in the Canadian
healthcare community. Some of the opinions reveal the challenges that Canadians have been
facing and the solutions towards the same. I concur with these opinions since there are people
who suffer mental health and are not able to access good health due to several factors as
discussed below.
Mental well-being has been acknowledged as a vital aspect of a person’s health. In our
present health government, the most of mental well-being services in the country do not reach
the suitability requirements of “medically necessary.” Lest acquired in healthcare facilities,
mental services are supposed to be from the pocket or covered by third party cover. Weekly
visitations to the psychoanalysts or counselors have been left to the sick person to pay the bills.
The latter has been happening despite the acknowledgment that healthiness is a vital right for all
Canadians with the psychological health being part of such a constituent of the general health.
