Answer:
Part of the definition of mental health includes the following statement: "Mental health is being well with yourself and others. Accepting the demands of life. Knowing how to deal with the good and unpleasant emotions: joy/sadness; courage/fear; love/hate; serenity/anger; jealousy; guilt; frustrations. Recognize your limits and seek help when needed. "
Explanation:
Most people when they hear about "Mental Health" think of "Mental Illness." But mental health implies much more than the absence of mental illness.
Mentally healthy people understand that no one is perfect, that everyone has limits and that you can't be everything to everyone. They experience daily a range of emotions such as joy, love, satisfaction, sadness, anger and frustration. They are able to cope with the challenges and changes of daily life with balance and know how to seek help when they have difficulty coping with major conflicts, disturbances, traumas or transitions in different life cycles.
A person's Mental Health is related to how they respond to life's demands and how they harmonize their desires, abilities, ambitions, ideas and emotions.
