Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on helping people of all ages participate in the activities they need and want to do in their daily lives. Occupational therapists work with individuals to improve their physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being through meaningful activities and interventions.

Occupational therapy promotes mental health and well-being by helping individuals develop the skills and strategies they need to manage daily tasks and activities. This can include techniques for stress management, coping with anxiety or depression, improving social skills, and enhancing overall quality of life.

Anyone experiencing mental health challenges or struggling to engage in daily activities due to emotional or cognitive issues can benefit from occupational therapy. This includes individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, autism, and other mental health conditions.

Common interventions in occupational therapy for mental health include activity analysis and modification, cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, stress management strategies, social skills training, sensory integration therapy, and lifestyle changes to promote overall well-being.
