"Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing how people think, feel, behave, and handle stress. It is essential at every life stage, encompassing more than just the absence of illness. Good mental health enables people to realize their potential, cope with life's stresses, and work productively." - World Health Organization
"Health risk behaviors are actions that increase the likelihood of adverse health outcomes, including chronic diseases, injury, or premature mortality. Besides the most commonly known examples of alcohol or drug use, other examples include tobacco use, unhealthy diet, excessive screen time, physical inactivity, and risky sexual behaviors." - The National Institutes of Health
