Emotional health is about the person’s mood or general emotional state. It is our ability to recognize and express feelings adequately. It relates to your self-esteem as well as your ability control your emotions to maintain a realistic perspective on situations. The relationship between emotional and mental health is clear, and as such, some illnesses relate to both (e.g., depression and anxiety).
Emotional health affects the other dimensions of health as a person with good self-esteem is more confident in social settings, makes friends quickly, and often performs better in physical activity.
