Mental well being is a place of contentment within societal norms, i.e. if you like to do your dishes in your camo undies on Monday at 2 pm while smeared in jelly and whip cream and you stick cheerios to your body and it effects and harms no one but yourself AND makes you feel GOOD this could be attributed to eccentricity and though it may not be considered "normal" in the societal factor, it is still a place of mental well being and contentment, of course this is an extreme example. :) Mental Health PROBLEMS on the other hand are mostly neuroses that go beyond the world of eccentricities, though they can also be much more serious such as Bi polar disorder, schizophrenia etc. They effect you negatively and the people around you negatively as well, and cause you to act in non healthy and non beneficial ways in your life. Many people KNOW at a gut level that their fears or behaviors or feelings are "not right/irrational or causing unneeded stress and heartache", even if only mild. Everybody has bad days but when the behaviors continue for any length of time and are unable to be resolved alone it could be defined as a mental health PROBLEM.

No lupus is a separate autoimmune disorder. When a patient has an autoimmune disease, the immune system cannot tell the difference between harmful substances and healthy ones. The result is an overactive immune response that attacks otherwise healthy cells and tissue. This leads to chronic inflammation. Patients who have one autoimmune disorder may also have others, like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
