The #MyTipsForMentalHealth trend on Twitter is full of incredible advice.

Mental health is often overlooked and neglected because “it’s all in your head”. What people fail to realise is that your entire personality and being is also “all in your head”. It shouldn’t be taken lightly, and it needs to be taken care of appropriately.

People, including those with poor mental health, have previously established notions about this. It’s a sensitive topic to many, and difficult to properly address, but thankfully, there are very genuine people out there that want nothing but the best for you.

The surge of advice on Twitter was a goldmine for everyone. Whether you know someone who struggles with mental health or are one yourself, you need to read this.
