Mental health is an often overlooked aspect of public health
"As a public health writer, I strive to bring this component of health into all of my work."

Scriptoria Solutions Public Health Writer
A quick rundown of mental health
Knowledge is having information. Wisdom is understanding how your mind uses that information. The idea of mental self-observation is commonly called self-awareness or meta-cognition.
Meta-cognition is the ability to observe yourself feeling emotions; observe yourself having thoughts; observe yourself holding beliefs; and also noticing which feelings, thoughts, and beliefs that are not in you at that moment.
Knowledge of accumulated and lost. Wisdom is honed and lasts forever.
Meta-cognition is the foundation of mental and emotional health. Happily, it is also an acquired skill that we practice and hone.
