A proposed new definition of mental health
Abstract
The authors propose a new approach to the definition of mental health, different than the definition proposed by the World Health Organization, which is established around issues of person's well-being and productivity. It is supposed to reflect the complexity of human life experience.
Keywords: definition; mental health.
