Mental Health & Wellbeing
What is mental health/mental wellbeing?
Mental well-being is not just the absence of mental disorder. It is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.
