    WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH?

    • Mental health is a state of mental well-being that


    enables people to cope with the stresses of life,
    realize their abilities, learn well and work well,
    and contribute to their community.
    • It is an integral component of health and well-
    being that underpins our individual and collective
    abilities to make decisions, build relationships
    and shape the world we live in.
    • Mental health is a basic human right. And it is
    crucial to personal, community and socio-
    economic development.
    • Mental health is more than the absence of mental
    disorders.
    • It exists on a complex continuum, which is
    experienced differently from one person to the
    next, with varying degrees of difficulty and
    distress and potentially very different social and
    clinical outcomes.
    • Throughout our lives, multiple individual, social
    and structural determinants may combine to
    protect or undermine our mental health and shift
    our position on the mental health continuum.
