Blood pressure, pulse, respiration, temperature…

These are our commonly known vital signs. But our mental health is another vital sign that’s just as important.

When something is wrong with our mental wellness, it can affect our physical wellness too. It can lead to higher blood pressure, weight gain or loss, shortness of breath and sleeplessness. Beyond the physical, mental health issues can affect relationships with family and friends, job performance and even how we deal with life on a daily basis. Even happy occasions can be stressful if you’re not mentally well.

Just like any other ailment, it’s completely normal to see your healthcare provider if something is wrong. And similar to a physical check up each year, checking up on your mental wellness is vital to your health.
