Mental Health - Mental health might usefully be viewed as a continuum of experience, from mental well-being through to a severe and enduring mental illness.
Mental Health Problems, Issues, Illness and Disorders - These terms cover a wide variety of conditions and exact definitions are often the subject of controversial debate, not least between those responsible for defining and revising mental health legislation and those affected by it. However, in general terms they refer to conditions which have neurotic and/or psychotic symptoms which impact on someone’s ability to get on with their daily life. These probelms can affect anyone, of any age and background, as well as having an impact on the people around them such as their family, friends and carers.
