Abstract

Complex and encompassing, mental health goes much beyond the absence of disease. It refers to a person's ability to relate with others and their environment in a way that encourages the best possible use of their cognitive, affective, and relational skills as well as general wellbeing.1 The absence of mental disorders is only one aspect of mental wellness. It is described as a state of wellbeing in which each person reaches their full potential, is able to deal with everyday stressors, can work productively and fruitfully, and can contribute to their community.2
