'Mental health’ and ‘mental illness’ are increasingly being used as if they mean the same thing, but they do not.

 

Everyone has mental health, just like everyone has physical health.

 

“There is no health without mental health.”                      – World Health Organization

 

Mental Health – mental well-being, emotions, thoughts, feelings, etc.

 

Mental Illness – an illness that affects the way people think, feel or interact with others
