How to Become Mentally Stronger
Amy Morin, LCSW
Verywell Mind Editor-in-Chief
While most people understand what it takes to become physically strong, there's a lot of confusion about how to grow mentally strong.
Fortunately, there are many things you can do to develop mental strength. You might even do some of them already without realizing that they're helping you grow mentally stronger.

There are always opportunities to grow mentally stronger. And no matter how strong you are already, there's always room for growth.

Mental strength isn't the same as mental health. In fact, as a therapist, some of the strongest people I've ever met were battling mental health issues, like depression and anxiety.

Building mental strength can prevent some mental illnesses and it can decrease the symptoms of others. But, mental strength doesn't make you immune to a mental health problem.

In this episode, I share the three components of mental strength. I also talk about some specific exercises that can help you develop more mental strength. And I clear up some common misconceptions about what it means to be mentally strong.
