I guess many people consider poor mental health as being synonymous with mental illness – they’re not – the two statuses really are not the same thing.
Effective mental health, like good physical health, is about mental ‘wellness’ – which I see as managing the day-to-day hurly burly of modern life; which includes, in no particular order; work, relationships, home, school, family, stress, happiness and so on.
And, what you’ll be noticing is that none of these things have anything to do with illness – nor are they in any way a form of human pathology – pathology meaning ‘within the person‘ in the medical sense
