Well, it is important for everyone to maintain the condition of their emotional health. From my perspective, emotional health is one of the major aspects of an individual's life. If a person is emotionally healthy, then he can differentiate the feelings, and spot them for what they are. Instead of forcing a person to react to a certain situation, it allows him to respond the affair in a sportive and agreeable manner. A great emotional well-being plays a crucial role in handling stress, regulating the feelings and appreciating the talents.

Thank you for pointing out that finding a healthy balance between all of the aspects of your life is important! My sister has been struggling with depression all of her life; however, she has never wanted any treatment. Now, she is thinking of becoming a mother, but this quarantine has really been especially hard on her mental health. I wonder if my sister should look into TMS mental health treatments so that she could feel ready to take the next steps in her life.
