Mental Health
Mental health refers to a broad array of activities directly or
indirectly related to the mental well-being component included in the WHO's
definition of health: "A state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being, and not merely the absence of disease". It is related to the
promotion of well-being, the prevention of mental disorders, and the treatment
and rehabilitation of people affected by mental disorders.
