Description

Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to deal with the pressures of life, to fulfil their abilities, to learn and work well, and to contribute to their communities. It is an essential building block for health and well-being, underpinning our individual and collective ability to make decisions, build relationships and shape the world in which we live. Mental health is a basic human right. It is essential for personal, social and socio-economic development.

Mental health is more than the absence of mental disorders.It exists on a complex continuum, experienced differently by each person, with varying degrees of difficulty and ailments, and potentially vastly different social and clinical outcomes.

Mental disorders include mental disorders and psychosocial disabilities as well as other mental disorders associated with significant distress, impairment of function or risk of self-harm. People with mental illness are more likely to experience poorer mental well-being, but not always or necessarily.

Determinants of Mental Health
Throughout our lives, many individual, social, and structural factors can act together to protect or alter our mental health and alter our position on the mental health continuum.

Individual psychological and biological factors such as emotional abilities, substance use, and genetics can make people more vulnerable to mental health problems.
