No, not just you Daddima. I too find it annoying. We all have mental health, some have good mental health others poor mental health.

Yes, annoyed, but unfortunately we hear it more often.

Is anyone else annoyed by the term ‘mental health’ becoming increasingly used to mean mental health problems or issues? I recently heard a woman on the radio say she had ‘ had mental health for many years’ and another saying she couldn’t work ‘ because she ‘suffered from mental health’?
Now today I see an online group launching with the headline, ‘ Mental Health is Nothing to be Ashamed Of’
Is it me?
