dc.description	Mental health is about how you think and feel, and your ability to deal with ups and downs. Good mental health means you can: • cope with the normal stresses of life • get the most out of everyday life • enjoy positive relationships with family and friends Your mental health does not always stay the same. Challenges can arise at any time in your life, but detecting and addressing a problem early can help. Maintaining good mental health will also help you deal with problems as and when they arise, or during tough times. Like all stages of life, older age brings its own challenges, and mental health problems in later life are often a normal consequence of growing older. Detecting and treating a problem early can lead to significant improvements in your mental health. Some of the challenges you may face as you get older include: • Retirement • Bereavement • Changes in activity levels • Moving from home to care	en_US
