It is important to ensure that you psychological well-being is maintained. Poor mental health can affect other aspects of your life, such as your work, study and relationships. Poor mental well-being can also impact your mood, sleep, appetite, concentration, energy, motivation and self esteem, and cause physical symptoms.
Mental illness is very common affecting up to 1 in 4 people at some point in their lives. If you believe you may be suffering from or you know someone who may be suffering from a mental illness it is important to seek help. Seeing your doctor and having a discussion may help. There are many treatment options available such as self-help, counselling, lifestyle therapy and medications. Speak to your GP as you may be eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan, which allows you to access medicare rebates for psychologist visits.
