Mental health has finally come out into the open. Is it ok to talk about your emotions. With these frank conversations, we can now openly talk about the strategies to remain mentally well.

These strategies need to be applied in the good times and in the bad times. If done well, they give you strength to face any challenge in life and trust me, there will be challenges.

Today at HealthAide Chats, Dr Khurram Akhter discusses simple tips for mental health – the things you can do to train your brain to face any drama in your life, so that it does not become overwhelming.

It is important to recognise these tips as foundations of your metal wellness. Without them there is nothing to support your mental health.
