WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH?

MENTAL HEALTH; not merely the absence of mental illness.


- It is the sense of well being an individual feels from every sphere of life. 
- It is a condition of physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being.
- It is the ability to create a harmonious life with oneself and the environment.


A mentally healthy person is always well adjusted and is not at war with himself. He has got strong self-esteem, has got good control of his behaviour, is able to manage stress, has got self-identity and is productive.


Living in a free environment will pave the way for a mentally healthier and happier life. In general, mental health can be achieved in many ways, like individual treatment, treatment of the families, educational programs and rehabilitation. thus healthy social surroundings are the need of the hour to boost mental health positively.
