The Role of the Brain and Body in Mental Health
Mental health is often seen through the lens of psychological processes—how we think, feel, and behave. However, the connection between the mind and body plays a critical role in shaping mental health. Our brain, as the central organ that processes information, and our body, which serves as the medium through which we experience the world and our emotions, are intricately linked. These physiological systems don't just coexist; they communicate, influence, and often determine our mental wellbeing.
