What is emotional health?

 Emotional health deals with the state of feelings and attitudes and the ability to properly identify, manage, embrace, and resolve those feelings, whether positive or negative. (As supported by WebMD)

Emotions are inborn in everyone. The six basic emotions are happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise, and anger. People have different ways of expressing emotions, with some shared gestures for specific emotions while others are tailored to a person's character/personality.

 The various components of emotional health include:

• Emotional awareness

• Self-esteem and actualization

• Emotional regulation

• Emotional acceptance
