A Word From Verywell

Content: Even though many people do not have a diagnosable mental disorder, it is clear that some are mentally healthier than others. What Is Mental Health? The World Health Organization states that mental health is not just the absence of mental illness. 1 ﻿ It involves a state of well-being in which people are able to cope with the normal stresses they face in daily life. Mental health allows people to recognize their own abilities, work productively, and make meaningful contributions to their communities. Characteristics
Mental health refers not only to emotional well-being but also to how people think and behave. There are a number of different factors that have been found to influence mental health. Life Satisfaction
A person's ability to enjoy life is frequently used as an indicator of mental health and wellness. It is often defined as the degree to which a person enjoys the most important aspects of their life. Some factors that have been found to play an important role in life satisfaction include the absence of feeling ill, good relationships, a sense of belonging, being active in work and leisure, a sense of achievement and pride, positive self-perceptions, a sense of autonomy, and feelings of hope.
