Mental Health & Illness

DSM-IV-TR: Mental Illness/Disorder is defined as a clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern associated with distress or disability......with increased risk of death, pain, disability and is not a reasonable (expectable) response to a particular situation (APA 2000).

On the other hand Mental Health is defined as a state of successful performance of mental function, resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with other people, and the ability to adapt to change and cope with adversity. (US Surgeon General Report, Dec 1999).



There are six major categories of positive mental health (Marie Jahoda in 1958) :
  1. Attitudes of individual toward self
  2. Presence of growth and development, or actualization
  3. Personality integration
  4. Autonomy and independence
  5. Perception of reality
  6. Environmental mastery
The health person will accepts the self, self-reliant, and self-confident.
