mental health check

Psychological status evaluation

A mental health check is an informal assessment of someone's emotional or psychological state.

It can be a self-evaluation or a caring inquiry from others: Just doing a mental health check—how are you holding up?

The phrase gained currency as conversations about mental wellness became more mainstream, often appearing in workplace or social contexts as a way to normalize discussing emotional struggles.
