Mental health and mental illness are often used interchangeably, but they're not the same.

Mental health refers to the overall state of psychological and emotional well-being, encompassing aspects like resilience, coping skills, and positive relationships. Meanwhile, mental illness represents a significant impairment in functioning over an extended duration, impacting various areas of life such as work, relationships, and daily activities.

It's crucial to recognize the difference between the two concepts to foster understanding and promote proper mental health support.
