However, in our understanding that mental health and emotional health tackle two different parts of our personality, processing, and reasoning, they are very much intertwined. Without a sense of high-quality mental health, our emotions can run wild and wreak havoc on our personality, along with the decisions we make and how we act and react to life's situations. Alternately, should we have a low-quality emotional health, our mental acuity can easily become disoriented and make it nearly impossible to function normally.
