- Emotional health refers to how you express yourself and your thoughts and feelings.
- People who are mentally healthy can think clearly, critically, and optimistically, even in challenging circumstances.
- People who are emotionally healthy express their thoughts and feelings clearly and cope well with stress.
Social Health

- Healthy relationships make you feel good about yourself and are characterized by trust and honest communication.
Case Study: The Interactions of Your Health
- The study focuses on three individuals: Dexter, Skye, and Malik.
- The study illustrates how different dimensions of health (physical, social, and mental/emotional) can impact one another.
- Dexter has experienced anxiety, but eating healthy foods and getting regular exercise has helped to improve his mental health.
- Skye is active, while her brother has become withdrawn and inactive, highlighting the interconnectedness of physical and mental health.
- Malik struggled to find a place in his new school, but joining a school club and volunteering for Habitat for Humanity positively impacted his mental health and social connections.
Real-Life Examples
- Janine has a healthy weight, rarely gets sick, and gets regular physical activity, but is under stress, anxious, and fights with her friends regularly.
- Alex was born with a genetic disorder, but manages his condition by following his doctor's instructions, getting plenty of sleep, exercising moderately, and avoiding smoking or drinking.
- People would say that Janine is healthier because she doesn't have a genetic disorder, but she is not “healthy” in the full sense of the word due to her negative mental and social health.
