Mental health is a term used to describe either a level of cognitive or emotional well-being or an absence of a mental disorder.

It includes how you feel about yourself and how you adjust to life events. However, the National Mental Health Association cites 10 characteristics of people who are mentally healthy.

  1. They feel good about themselves.
  2. They do not become overwhelmed by emotions, such as fear, anger, love, jealousy, guilt, or anxiety.
  3. They have lasting and satisfying personal relationships.
  4. They feel comfortable with other people.
  5. They can laugh at themselves and with others.
  6. They have respect for themselves and for others even if there are differences.
  7. They are able to accept life's disappointments.
  8. They can meet life's demands and handle their problems when they arise.
  9. They make their own decisions.
  10. They shape their environment whenever possible and adjust to it when necessary.
