Mental health is not just the absence of depression, anxiety, burnout, or trauma. According to the World Health Organization, it is:
“A state of wellbeing in which every individual realizes their abilities, can cope with normal stresses, can work productively, and contribute to their community.”
Modern research shows clear evidence on the cost of ignoring mental health:
– Burnout reduces productivity by up to 60%
– Presenteeism (being physically present but mentally exhausted) costs companies more than absenteeism
– Poor mental health increases turnover and replacing one employee can cost 1.5–2x their salary
– Employees with supportive work environments are 3–4 times more engaged
– High-stress workplaces have higher risks of errors, conflicts, and ethical lapses
For any organization, mental wellbeing = operational efficiency + talent retention + innovation.
For individuals, your mind is your most valuable asset. We invest heavily in education, careers, and physical health, but often neglect the mind that powers everything.
Mental wellbeing affects:
– Decision-making and problem-solving
– Emotional regulation
– Creativity and clarity
– Capacity for relationships
– Resilience in adversity
– Financial decisions
– Spiritual and social engagement
Protecting your mind is not an optional luxury, it is the foundation of a functional and fulfilling life.
