It has been about two years since the Covid-19 breakout began and since then mental health and mindset awareness has gained more public attention than ever before. The CDC said<\/a>, \u201cMental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices.\u201d And while the term mental health<\/em> has been in common use, its importance nowadays seems to be highlighted by Covid-19.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
