Mental Health

Mental Health:

  1. Mental health is the capacity to work (be productive), to love (have friends), and to play (renew one's self) with relative freedom from internal stress and without causing stress to others.
  2. In another sense, mental health is the capacity to cope with all of life, including its joys and sorrows.
