C. The mental and physical application of what is best
True
In some models, mental health is when people behave as expected in the culture in which they live and mental illness is when people behave in a manner contradictory to that expected in the culture in which they live. In other models, mental health is defined by functional behavior and mental illness is defined by dysfunctional behavior. Almost all models also require delusional beliefs for at least some period of time, but delusions can also be culturally dependent. There are many other models I cannot go into here.

yes The idea that mental disorders are treatable like any other illness is a relatively modern concept. In the past, people with mental illnesses were marginalized and cut off from society. Some were even used to experiment on. In cultures which the idea of treating mental illnesses is not prominent, they will often simply cut the person out. Also, in religious cultures, mental illnesses can be said to be caused by the devil, so prayer would be used.
