WHAT IS HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH?

Health is defined by the WHO as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. While most of us know what our “physical” health is, such as the health of our heart and muscles, many of us don’t know what our “mental” health is.
Mental health is the health of our brain, the organ responsible for our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. More broadly, mental health can be defined as “a state of well-being in which an individual realizes their own abilities, copes with the normal stresses of life, works productively, and is able to make a contribution to their community”.
