Meaning of mental health with the society
According to Jidong, Husain, and Mwankon, (2021) Mental health is the most valuable
topic in this society. If someone is having any issue in mental health, then they are less likely to
help because of the shame and the stigma. Also, mental illness is getting misunderstood by those
people who are being never experienced it and it becomes to supporter the needs and education
of the others about the issues. It is impacting the society in a positive and negative way because
if a person is very happy and communicating effectively with the society members. Then it
creates a good impression of a person. It means that a person is having a very healthy mental
state. On the other hand, if a person is having lot of stress and having a depression and then they
are not behaving very well with the society members. So, this creates a negative impact on the
society and they just lost touch with that person (McDermott, Gabb, and Hanbury, 2021). There
are some of the reasons which can say that mental health is essential within the society. as it

affects their physical health and the well-being. There is a lack of treatment, feeling guilty or
sadness, loss of control, then it is said that person is in depression and their mental health is not
very good. So, this means that mental health should be very effective within the society in order
to create a positive impact on them.

more stress and depression in the end results in mental illness (Poucher, Tamminen, and Cairney,
2021). That is why they could not be able to effectively communicate with the society and lacks
