Do you think mental health is just as important as physical health or does one matter more than the other?

This debate comes up a lot and I'm curious where you stand. Some people say you can't be truly healthy if your mental state is a mess no matter how fit you are physically. Others argue that physical health should come first because it directly impacts your survival. But aren't they really connected anyway like depression can make you stop taking care of your body and chronic pain can mess with your mental state? Do you prioritize one over the other in your own life or do you try to balance both equally?

Yep mental health often gets overlooked when it really shouldn't. Your brain literally controls every single aspect of your life, and having mental health issues will impact the quality of your life.

Mental health is very important and so that's why you need to manage time well, exercise, do relaxing hobbies and AVOID toxic people, lol.

I must say that doing what makes you very happy is one of the ways that you can overcome depression. I have said that mental health should be prioritised the way we talk about physical health as it is very important.
