[quote=Anonymous]Mental health is normal, everyone has it. It is on a continuum and can be amazing or awful depending on what is happening with life. Mental health is not the absence of mental illness. You could have a mental illness that is treated and managed and have great mental health. Or you could have no mental illness but have terrible mental health. "Mental health is a state of well-being where a person realizes their own abilities, can cope with life's normal stresses, work productively, and contribute to their community/" Mental illness is when one has signs and symptoms that are of clinical significance and meet criteria for a diagnosable illness or condition or disorder that causes significant distress and impair's one ability to function. It can be treated, and managed or recovered from. It is outside the range of normal human experience in terms of the degree of distress and funtional impairment. The DSM includes disorders, conditions, and illnesses.[/quote]
