What is mental health?

Mental Health is a state of emotional and social wellbeing in which an individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community. Mental health is an important issue for the whole community. Good mental health is fundamental to the wellbeing of individuals, their families and to the community as a whole.
