Many People, when they hear the term mental health think first of
mental illness.. But mental Health is far more than merely the
absence of mental illness.
Mental Health is what we all want for
ourselves -- HAPPINESS!!
Mental Health has to do with everybody's everyday life. It means the over all way that people get along -- in their families, at school, on the job, with their associates, in their communities. It has to do with the way that each person harmonizes his desires, ambition, abilities, ideals, feelings, and his conscience in order to meet the demands of life as he has to face them. It has to do with:
- How you feel about yourself;
- How you feel about other people; and
- How are you able to meet the demands of life.
Mental Health is Feeling Good about Yourself!!
