What jobs involve mental health?
There are many careers in the field of mental health. Some are supportive rather than medical, such as counselling, caring and providing support in private or public institutions. Others require more advanced knowledge or training such as being a psychologist who can diagnose some mental orders. Even more advanced is psychiatry, in which you are trained to treat mental disorders or illnesses with medication.
A person who is ‘mentally healthy’ is generally in a state of overall emotional and cognitive wellbeing, and is able to cope with the stresses of normal life. They can think, feel and behave in a way that is not harmful to themselves or others.
