mental health
as an integral and essential
component of health, indeed,
there is
no health without mental health.
Mental health is more than the absence of mental
disorders.
The WHO constitution states: "Health
is a state of complete physical, mental
and social
well-being
and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
Mental health is a state of well-being
in which an individual realizes his
or her own
abilities,
cope with the normal stresses of life, can work
productively and is able to make a
contribution to his or her community.
In this positive sense, mental health is
the foundation for individual well-being and the
effective functioning of a community.
More than
450
million
people suffer from mental disorders.
(WHO 10years ago)
More
than
970 million
1/8 people suffer from mental disorder
(WHO 2020)
Many more people have mental problems.
Mental health is determined by socio-economic,
biological and environmental factors.

is not a characteristic of homeless but of person
everyone
has his Achilles heel but not
all of them are injured.
