Diagnosing Mental Health

Commonly referred to as an individual s emotional or psychological well-being, mental health is a term that has no one official definition according to the World Health Organization. Most experts believe that mental health is measured by an individual s ability to remain capable and competent, handling normal levels of stress, maintaining happy and healthy relationships and his her ability to lead an independent life.
