Relationship
How do relationships influence our mental health?
Numerous advantages are associated with good social connections and mental health.
Established quality connections with family, friends and/or their community
can lead to reduced rates of
anxiety
and
depression,
enhanced self-esteem, increased empathy, and more trusting, cooperative relationships.
According to Mental Health Foundation,
the quality of close relationships is important.
Living in conflict or within a toxic relationship is more damaging than being alone.
