Mental health does not exist in isolation but is shaped by the environments, institutions, and social structures we inhabit. This interconnected role of society is often overlooked.
Conventional mental health focuses on individual emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, sometimes obscuring the influence of societal structures, environmental factors, and cultural expectations on mental well-being.
The modern workplace glorifies overwork and often ties worth to productivity, pushing individuals beyond healthy limits while societal factors create chronic stress around financial security.
Stigmatization of mental health persists, where professionals fear disclosure of personal challenges might endanger their careers, highlighting the need for societal change to foster open conversations.
