WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH?
Mental health refers to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being.
It is all about how people think, feel, and behave. People sometimes
use the term “mental health” to mean the absence of a mental
disorder.
Mental health can affect daily living, relationships, and physical health.
However, this link also works in the other direction. Factors in people’s
lives, interpersonal connections, and physical factors can all contribute
to mental health disruptions.
Looking after mental health can preserve a person’s ability to enjoy life.
Doing this involves reaching a balance between life activities,
responsibilities, and efforts to achieve psychological resilience.
Conditions such as stress, depression, and anxiety can all affect mental
health and disrupt a person’s routine.
WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH IN PSYCHOLOGY?
“Great health” is an ability to digest our experiences. To digest or
metabolize experiences is to take whatever is given in any moment—
any thought, feeling, or sensation, any cruel word, kind act, or
humiliating fall—and transform it—by chewing, mashing, churning,
breaking it down—into a sweet stream of energy capable of nourishing
our ongoing bodily becoming.
The philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche.
