The WHO definition of mental health
“Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community.”
The WHO states that mental health is “more than the absence of mental disorders.” Peak mental health is about managing active conditions and maintaining wellness and happiness. The organization also emphasizes that preserving and restoring mental health is important at individual, community, and societal levels.
Mental health issues are increasing globally
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 970 million people worldwide were living with a mental health condition in the last year, a notable increase from the previous year. Amongst the most common mental health conditions are depression and anxiety. The cost to the global economy for depression and anxiety alone amounts to US$ 1 trillion each year.
Risk factors for mental health conditions
Everyone is at some risk of developing a mental health disorder, regardless of age, sex, income, or ethnicity. In most countries, depression is one of the leading causes of disability. Social and financial circumstances, adverse childhood experiences, biological factors, and underlying medical conditions can all shape a person’s mental well-being. Stress, depression, and anxiety can affect mental health and may disrupt a person’s routine.
