Descriptions
Mental health is a concept that refers to a human individual's emotional and psychological well-being. Merriam-Webster defines mental health as A state of emotional and psychological well-being in which an individual is able to use his or her cognitive and emotional capabilities, function in society, and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is no one official definition of mental health. Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how mental health is defined. In general, most experts agree that mental health and mental illness are not opposites. In other words, the absence of a recognized mental disorder is not necessarily an indicator of mental health. One way to think about mental health is by looking at how effectively and successfully a person functions. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
