Defining Mental Health as a Public Health Issue
by William Glasser
Get it Now
Dr. Glasser stated that mental health can be accurately described as an entity totally separate from mental illness. He wrote: “You are mentally healthy if you enjoy being with most of the people you know, especially with the important people in your life such as family, sexual partners and friends. Generally, you are happy and are more than willing to help an unhappy family member, friend, or colleague to feel better. You lead a mostly tension-free life, laugh a lot, and rarely suffer from the aches and pains that so many people accept as an unavoidable part of living. “
