One definition of mental health

 “ to me when considering how we might compile a definition for good mental health it’s important to consider it’s not simply feeling happy or symptom free but includes to truly hold emphatic and compassion for other people in our hearts . To care for our selfs nature and animals. It’s the capacity to perceive reality clearly and respond to it coherently over time. It involves having good emotional awareness without over identification and the ability to hold complexity update beliefs and regulate emotions without suppressing them . Mental health is also individual and collective. It requires alignment between inner coherence and the long term impact on ones actions on others and the world.” R D Laign
