Healthy Mind: Along with health, good mental health is also very important. Mental health affects our ability to think, understand, feel and act. Our habits and our thoughts also depend on our mental health. If our habits are good then our mental health will also be good, says Dr. Samant Darshi, psychiatrist of Asith Super Specialty Hospital. However, there are some habits which have a bad effect on mental health. That is why many times people fall prey to mental illness.
If your mental health is not good then you may become a victim of mental illness. This is a type of disorder, which is related to the brain.
