The streaming platform has added several series to its catalogue that address the topic of mental health and the importance of taking care of oneself. Find out which ones they are.
Mental health affects how we manage our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Maintaining emotional balance is key to experiencing happiness and satisfaction in life.
Mental health is closely linked to physical health. Stress and emotional problems can contribute to physical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders and immune system problems.
Taking care of our mental health is something we should all do equally, which is why it is very important that platforms like Netflix include series that talk about the importance of taking care of ourselves.
