What is mental health & wellbeing?

Mental health and wellbeing are traits and skills that we continually develop and hone as we live a tumultuous and quality life. Peterson, T. (2021, December 26). What Is Mental Wellbeing?

Why is mental wellbeing important?

Mental wellbeing is an integral part of our overall health. Society often thinks of health as something biological and physical: the condition of our bodies, how healthy we eat, the physical exercise we do. A key component of health is missing from this, though.

What does good mental wellbeing mean?

Good mental wellbeing doesn't mean that you're always happy. Or that you're unaffected by your experiences. Having good wellbeing doesn't always mean that you don't have a mental health problem. You may live with a mental health problem, but have good wellbeing right now.

Is mental wellbeing subjective or subjective?

Mental wellbeing is often referred to as subjective wellbeing. Subjective wellbeing is defined as our perception and evaluation of our life (Keyes, 2006). Two components comprise subjective wellbeing: hedonia and eudaimonia. Hedonia (like the word ‘hedonism’) refers to pleasure and happiness.
