Mental health is, and should always be viewed as, a continuum. Think of it like running a marathon. It’s an emotional, cognitive and energetic endurance event. We will have periods of high performance, low performance, the inability to perform at all, and any combination of the three.
Just as our physical health fluctuates, so too will our mental health. We work to strengthen our bodies to become better able to withstand fatigue and infection. We can also work to improve and stabilize our mental health.
