Social relationships foster mental health in several ways: Relationships help provide people with purpose and meaning. Your friends and family might encourage positive health behaviors (like following a healthy diet, finding work-life balance, and making regular doctor’s appointments). Conversations with a good, empathetic listener can help relieve stress and help you process your emotions. Engaging in activities with friends (such as walking or playing sports) increases your energy and releases tension. While screen time and phone calls are easy ways to interact with our friends and family, nothing compares to face-to-face interaction. In fact, studies suggest that excessive social media use might trigger depressive symptoms due to feelings of inadequacy or jealousy. So, finish this article, log off Facebook, and go meet a friend or family member for a fun activity. Identifying and Fostering Healthy Relationships
Unhealthy relationships can quickly become a stressor or mental illness trigger. For this reason, it’s important to pursue relationships with people who encourage healthy habits and provide emotional support.
