Mental Health

“A state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, to realize their abilities, to learn well and work well, and to contribute to their communities.”

Mental Health

✓ is determined by a range of socioeconomic, biological and environmental factors.

✓ is more than the absence of mental disorders

✓ is an integral part of our general health and well-being and a basic human right.

Cost-effective public health and intersectoral strategies and interventions should exist to promote, protect, and restore mental health.
