Abstract

Mental health (MH) refers to the state of well-being where every person realizes their potential, is able to cope with the usual stresses of life, work productively and even contribute to the wellbeing of their community. It is an all-encompassing term that reflects positive wellbeing, where one can flourish and be resilient to adversities.
