About Mental Health
Understanding It Matters.
Mental health, as defined by the World Health Organization (2025), is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with life’s stresses, realize their abilities, learn and work well, and contribute to their community. It has intrinsic and instrumental value and is a basic human right.
Mental health exists on a complex continuum and is experienced differently from one person to the next. At any given time, a diverse set of individual, family, community, and structural factors may combine to protect or undermine mental health. Although most people are resilient, those exposed to adverse circumstances are at higher risk of developing a mental health condition.
Mental health conditions include mental disorders and psychosocial disabilities, as well as other mental states associated with significant distress, impairment in functioning, or risk of self-harm. Many mental health conditions can be effectively treated at relatively low cost, yet health systems remain significantly under-resourced, and treatment gaps are wide around the world (World Health Organization, 2022).
