Which of the following is an example of an effective topic sentence?

Although I am happy, I have many problems.
In this essay, I will explore the issues of depression.
It is important to take time to address our mental health.
Struggling with mental health can be difficult.

The correct answer is: It is important to take time to address our mental health.

An effective topic sentence clearly and concisely states the main idea of the paragraph or essay that follows. Option C is the most effective because it directly addresses the topic of mental health, which is also the main idea of the essay. It also provides a specific focus on taking time to address mental health, rather than just mentioning the importance of mental health in general. Option A is too vague and does not effectively introduce the main idea of the essay. Option B does not function as an effective topic sentence because it introduces the topic as something the writer will simply be exploring rather than offering a clear opinion or argument. Option D, while related to the topic, does not effectively set up the main idea or direction of the essay.
