According to experts in the field of Physico-Psychiatric Research "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." and "A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease". Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.
