As you all may know, it is currently mental health awareness week. It's an important part of us as humans to understand what mental health truly is. I'll keep this short because I don't know how to talk.

I'm not here to talk about every type of disability under the sun, or the moon, or whatever. I'm here to talk about:

• Depression
• Suicide
• Anxiety
• and other forms of mental illnesses

This is probably because these are the only topics I really know about. Now, I will define them in the simplest terms.

Suicide - the long-term solution to a short-term problem

Depression - feelings of severe despondency and dejection.

Anxiety - a nervous disorder characterized by a state of excessive uneasiness and apprehension, typically with compulsive behavior or panic attacks.
