Mental health
From BoyWiki
"Mental health" is the absence of "mental illness." "Mental illness" is the absence of "mental health."
As there is no definitive definition of "mental health," it is impossible to clearly define "mental illness," though mental health professionals, on the basis of a checklist they find available for them in the DSM, will quickly decide whether someone is "mentally ill" or suffers from a "mental disorder."
According to the classifications found in the DSM, there are very few "mentally healthy" individuals in the world.[1]
