“The term mental health refers to a state of emotional and psychological well-being in which the individual is able to make use of his or her cognitive or emotional abilities, exercise his or her function within society, respond to the daily demands of everyday life, establish satisfying and mature relationships with others, participate constructively in changes in the environment, and adapt to external conditions and internal conflicts.”
World Health Organization (WHO)

“… the term Mental Disorder unfortunately implies a distinction between ‘mental’ disorder and ‘physical’ disorder that is a reductive anachronism of mind/body dualism….”
