Mental health refers to the psychological and emotional well-being of an individual required for a good living. It directly affects our moods and ability to cope with various challenges of life.

Is it the different shades of denim or the endless options of coats, suits, jeans, and dresses that can be created with a fabric of 50 shades of blue? Forget the cowboy hats because, self-admittedly, jeans always gave me a tomboy and country girl feelings that could only be worn with a checkered shirt, how I…
