Mental Health and Mental Illness

Mental health and mental illness are difficult to define precisely. People who can carry out their roles in society and whose behavior is appropriate and adaptive are viewed as healthy. Conversely, those who fail to fulfill roles and carry out responsibilities or whose behavior is inappropriate are viewed as ill. The culture of any society strongly influences its values and beliefs, and this in turn affects how that society defines health and illness. What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate, another society
may see as maladaptive and inappropriate.

Mental Health
The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellness, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.This definition emphasizes health as a positive state of well-being.People in a state of emotional, physical, and social well-being fulfill life responsibilities, function effectively in daily life, and are satisfied with their interpersonal relationships and themselves. No single universal definition of mental health exists. Generally, a person’s behavior can provide clues to his or her mental health.
