Recovery in mental health and addiction is much more than the absence of illness or mental disorders. It is in fact a process of continuous change by which people with the lived experience of a behavioral health problem improve their overall health and well-being, lead an independent life and strive to achieve their full potential. Individually, recovery is something very personal for each person, but perhaps we can collectively bring together the necessary conditions to facilitate and encourage recovery as a trajectory of emancipation?
The world has undergone significant transformations in recent years. The pace of change is rapid. We strive to achieve success in every aspect of our lives in this changing world. To maintain the pace, we need energy and strength. Well-being and Positive Thinking are the key determinants of maintaining the mood, energy, enthusiasm and to live a meaningful life. Well-being makes you stronger and positive thinking makes you see life in a better light.
