This section describes our twelve emotional needs and their implication for good mental health

To survive, all living things must take in nourishment from the environment to continue to rebuild and maintain themselves. This nourishment of course means both physical and emotional nourishment which we experience as feelings or needs.

As these needs comprise such an important factor in the maintenance of good mental health and wellbeing, this section considers each one of these emotional drivers in turn. During this section, I hope to show you how unmet needs are instrumental in getting people stressed or becoming mentally and emotionally unwell.
