Important to Understand:

Despite the widespread stigma surrounding mental illness, it is important to recognize that it affects every aspect of a person’s life. For example, if a person is experiencing depression, they may feel depressed or anxious about their situation. However, they may appear to be performing well on their job and may not be as vulnerable to open discrimination. This makes it difficult for them to receive proper support when they need it. For this reason, it is important to establish a clear definition of good mental health, as well as an operationalization that is more rigorous and more practical.

What is Good Mental Health?

Good mental health isn’t just about a lack of depression or anxiety. Having good mental health means being able to deal with stress, expressing a variety of emotions, and coping well with life’s ups and downs. You may also feel happiness, compassion, and joy. You may even feel a sense of purpose and belonging. When you’re in good mental health, you’re more able to handle life’s inevitable challenges and overcome problems.
