Understand Emotions to Heal Minds

Emotional literacy should be taught from an early age, starting as young as three, emphasizing that if a child can have thoughts, they can learn to understand them. The interplay between mental health and physical well-being is crucial, linking emotional responses to biological factors. Specifically, low serotonin levels can exacerbate negative emotional states, leading to increased irritability, anxiety, and obsessive thoughts. This biological aspect affects how individuals perceive and react to emotional situations, highlighting the importance of addressing both emotional and physical health to foster better mental well-being.
