Mental health refers to all aspects of adjusting in life and managing life’s problems. It isn’t just the absence of mental illnesses like bipolar disorder or Schizophrenia, it is the presence of a well-adjusted, flourishing life.
Mental health is holistic. It involves understanding the environment, relationships, social contexts, behaviors, and the body with respect to feeling adequate, adaptable, and motivated.
