Dictionary: "Mental
health is an integral and essential component of
health. The WHO constitution states: "Health is
a state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease
or infirmity." An important consequence of this
definition is that mental health is described as
more than the absence of mental disorders or
disabilities. Mental
health is a state of well-being in which an
individual realizes his or her own abilities,
can cope with the normal stresses of life, can
work productively and is able to make a
contribution to his or her community. In this
positive sense, mental health is the foundation
for individual well-being and the effective
functioning of a community."
