What is mental health? (मानसिक स्वास्थय भनेको के हो ?)
 French
physician Philippe Pinel, is considered as the father of
modern psychiatry (Mental Health).
 The World Health Organization (WHO) conceptualizes mental
health as a “state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or
her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work
productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his
or her community”.
 Mentalhealth includes our emotional, psychological, and social
well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps
determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.
