Mental Health Awareness — Education & Understanding
Mental health is an essential part of overall well-being. It is influenced by biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors, including stress, inflammation, and oxidative processes in the body.
At IMMA – Immunity Matters, our goal is to educate, not diagnose or replace professional care. This page provides evidence-based educational content designed to help people better understand mental health and the biological mechanisms that may influence it.
The video below introduces key concepts related to mental health awareness, stigma, self-care, and emerging scientific research linking oxidative stress, inflammation, and glutathione to brain and mental well-being.
This content is for educational and awareness purposes only.
It does not replace medical, psychological, or mental health care.
If you are experiencing distress, please seek support from a qualified healthcare professional.
Research & Learning Resources
To support transparency and encourage independent learning, we provide direct links to trusted scientific and public health sources. These resources allow visitors to explore the research behind mental health, oxidative stress, inflammation, and glutathione.
- World Health Organization (WHO) – Mental Health Information
- National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
- Glutathione in Brain Disorders and Aging (Scientific Review)
- PubMed – Scientific Research on Mental Health & Oxidative Stress
- PubMed – Scientific Research on Mental Health & Inflammation
Although oxidative stress and inflammation often interact, they represent distinct biological processes. Oxidative stress primarily involves cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species, while inflammation involves immune signaling responses that can influence brain function. Both processes are associated with mental health outcomes, which is why IMMA provides educational resources addressing each individually and together.
“You Are Not Alone“
IMMA exists to support understanding, not judgment — and education, not pressure.
Caring for your mental and physical health is an act of self-respect.
