Bad psychological state may affect people's daily life, limit their potential and cause interpersonal tension. Paying attention to mental health and striving to maintain and improve mental health are not only beneficial to mental state and interpersonal relationship, but also can promote physical health.
So what is the relationship between psychological problems and physical health?
Beyond Depression discussed the importance of good physical health to improve and maintain mental health. This is supported by sufficient evidence, which proves that good physical health helps to maintain good mental health. On the contrary, poor physical condition is one of the reasons for psychological problems.
"Beyond Depression" explains how to use exercise to stop negative thoughts or distract people from their daily worries, and to change the levels of chemicals in the brain, including serotonin and endorphins, which can produce positive feelings. A nutritious and healthy diet is considered to be beneficial to healthy brain function, and a good sleep mode can improve attention, enhance energy and contribute to the rapid recovery of diseases.
Similarly, psychological problems can also increase the risk of physical diseases. Studies have shown that these diseases include hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal problems and obesity.

Psychologists can help you improve your understanding of mental health symptoms, their relationship with physical problems, the causes of mental health problems and reasonable methods to improve mental health.
