Emotional wellness is how you control yourself regarding social or interpersonal communication. some examples may be showing empathy or subduing your anger so as to not lash out at someone it can also be seen as something that can branch off of your mental health as it also plays a vital role in defining it.

Mental health is the overall well-being of the mind as stated earlier it can include how emotionally stable you are but in addition, it can include things like conditions such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia

Emotional wellness and mental health are still vastly different because the aforementioned health conditions stated prior may cause hindrance or a complete inability to achieve emotional wellness but not everybody will experience these issues so it may only be an additional connection to those who do experience mental health conditions. A universal connection between emotional wellness and mental health that all people may experience  is how people may experience nonchronic health conditions such as sadness and anger these emotions are what may cause a decline in mental health due to the stress caused by it

How does an emotionally well person appear though? In my opinion, an emotionally well person would be someone who is able to just think before they act as it is important to be aware of how others may feel after you act to know whether or not you are doing wrong

Anthony Neises- Mental health is the way your mind thinks and just overall your well being in your mind. Also it affects the way you act and other day to day things. Mental health can be affected by what has happened throughout your life such as maybe your past or losing a loved one.

Emotional wellness refers to the ability to understand, manage, and express one’s emotions effectively. It has to do with coping with both positive and negative feelings. People with good emotional wellness can cope with stress, and move through life’s challenges, and keep a good outlook on life. This aspect of wellness often is  influenced by personal experiences, environment, and social interactions.

Emotional wellness will affect people’s mind sometimes but not always how they look. The reason I say this is just because someone looks so happy doesn’t always mean that they are happy all the time. Someone could be struggling with their mental health but still try to not show people that they are struggling.

One way to get rid of bad mental health is to stay positive and calm during bad or weird situations.

Emotional wellness is how you can cope with positive and negative emotions and also be aware of them. It's like when you are struggling with activities at work and just keep trying and don't let it get to you. Then when you finish it you will feel a big relief because you know how hard you tried and finally got it done these happen all the time without you even noticing.

Mental health is more of how you make decisions and whether they are good not. Also just more so a persons well being. And whether or not you can make rational decisions in a hard time. Emotional wellness is how you can change your feelings and your mood through difficult or stressful times. Being able to regulate your emotions like anger, sadness, stress, and joy.

The emotional, psychological and social well-being influence stress, actions, feelings and the reactions to others that define the full scope of mental health. However emotional wellness involves growing an awareness of emotions and improving the response you have to everyday occurrences. This understanding allows you to grasp the reason as to why and how to deal with the feelings.

There are many ways to help deal with one’s mental health. According to the “Samhsa” a great skill to deal with mental health is to stay positive and not let the little things bring you down in life. The symptoms of bad mental health include a wild eating schedule, sporadic amounts of sleep and constant mood swings.

The signs of bad emotional wellness may consist of the inability to stay calm, struggling with social interactions, and beating yourself up about the tough things in life. Some of the best ways to control and improve emotional wellness are to take time to calm down and recharge, tell others about what is going on in life and to take care of yourself. Whether that be eating well or having a strong schedule for everyday activities.

A number of factors can cause mental health conditions, such as genetics, life experiences, and family history. Within mental health, there is emotional wellness, which is the state of being aware of your feelings and the way you respond to everyday interactions.

Mental health can include the things we characterize as being bad, such as depression or anxiety. At the same time, emotional wellness tends to focus on the positives of how you handle your emotions. Emotional wellness also tends to focus on ways that we can work on positively responding to our emotions.

A critical part of maintaining good mental health is emotional wellness, which means being able to actively know what you are feeling and how to handle your feelings. Typically, emotional wellness involves being able to detect what emotions you are feeling and dealing with them in a beneficial way. For example, a person who is emotionally well will be open to seeking and accepting support from others when they struggle emotionally.

Tips for Living Well with a Mental Health Condition

Having a mental health condition can make it a struggle to work, keep up with school, stick to a regular schedule, have healthy relationships, socialize, maintain hygiene, and more.

However, with early and consistent treatment-often a combination of medication and psychotherapy-it is possible to manage these conditions, overcome challenges, and lead a meaningful, productive life.

Today, there are new tools, evidence-based treatments, and social support systems that help people feel better and pursue their goals. Some of these tips, tools and strategies include:

Stick to a treatment plan. Even if you feel better, don't stop going to therapy or taking medication without a doctor's guidance. Work with a doctor to safely adjust doses or medication if needed to continue a treatment plan.

Keep your primary care physician updated. Primary care physicians are an important part of long-term management, even if you also see a psychiatrist.

Learn about the condition. Being educated can help you stick to your treatment plan. Education can also help your loved ones be more supportive and compassionate.

Practice good self-care. Control stress with activities such as meditation or tai-chi; eat healthy and exercise; and get enough sleep.

Reach out to family and friends. Maintaining relationships with others is important. In times of crisis or rough spells, reach out to them for support and help.

Develop coping skills. Establishing healthy coping skills can help people deal with stress easier.

Get enough sleep. Good sleep improves your brain performance, mood and overall health. Consistently poor sleep is associated with anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.

The World Health Organization provides a mental wellness definition: “A state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.

Mrs. Anderson- example: Mental health is the overall well-being of  your emotions, psychological experiences and social skills. Your mental health develops from handling emotional and physical traumas, biologically through family genes, and based on past life experiences and the reaction to those experiences. Within mental health is emotional wellness, the awareness of one's emotional state and reaction to situations, and how emotions have an affect on mood and everyday activities.

I feel our emotional wellness is just a part of our overall mental health, as mentioned on the UC Davis website “Eight Dimensions of Wellness”. As we strengthen and work with each of those dimensions, we are strengthening our overall mental health.

Someone who is “emotionally stable or well” doesn’t necessarily walk around with a giant smile plastered on their face. They instead are able to be involved in conflict and react based on facts. This person is able to navigate through a day where plans change without warning, yet they embrace it and make the best of the situation. Someone who is emotionally well is able to offer insight to situations based on past experiences and not just on their feelings about the people or things involved. This person is aware of the shift in their emotions as subjects of conversation change.

Someone who is mentally healthy maintains these same qualities. They are able to step back from trauma and drama within their own life and see it for what it is, instead of getting worked up over feelings and emotions. Mental health is also more than emotions, it’s based on the wiring of the brain and how we are able to handle our differences and the thoughts that pass through our minds.
