DEALL IECHYD MEDDWL

Understanding Mental Health

Mae Iechyd Meddwl yn gyflwr o les meddyliol sy’n galluogi pobl i ymdopi â straen bywyd, gwireddu eu galluoedd, dysgu a gweithio’n dda, a chyfrannu at eu cymuned.

Mae’n rhan annatod o iechyd a llesiant sy’n sail i’n gallu ni fel unigolyn, a gydag eraill, i wneud penderfyniadau, meithrin perthnasoedd a siapio’r byd rydym yn byw ynddo.

MH is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realise their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community.

It is an integral component of health and well-being that underpins our individual and collective abilities to make decisions, build relationships and shape the world we live in.

DEALL IECHYD MEDDWL

Understanding Mental Health

Myth: Mae cyflwr iechyd meddwl yn arwydd o wendid; pe bai'r person yn gryfach, fyddai ganddo ddim y cyflwr hwn.

Myth: Mae pob person sydd â chyflwr iechyd meddwl yn 'beryglus', yn 'wallgof' neu'n 'anghymwys'

Myth: A mental health condition is a sign of weakness; if the person were stronger, they would not have this condition.

Myth: Every person with a mental health condition is 'dangerous', 'crazy' or 'incompetent'
