Genuine question: how would someone define "mental health" or be able to determine if someone is mentally healthy? Even for myself, I really have no clue whether I'm mentally healthy or not.
- antepodius 6y agoHow do you define physical health? In a sense, nobody is really healthy. We're all afflicted with a long-term progressive wasting disease that has 100% mortality (so far). You can say 'healthy' is just a good-enough arbitrary cut-off. For mental health, no glaring neuroses, you usually feel good or neutral about yourself, no suicidal ideation, basically just if none of the markers people've said are unhealthy show up.
