✓ "Mental health is defined as 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." Resilience – as in "being able to cope with the normal stress of life" – is an important component of most definitions of mental well-being, with great relevance for the prevention of mental illness. Working productively and fruitfully is an important component from the point of view of economists, and in some studies is regarded as the primary component. Mental well-being is specific to each person. Whilst for some people, well-being may come in the form of family, for other socialising is what makes them happy.
According to Spoors et al, Lane found that increased economic power did not lead to increased happiness. Once we have enough to meet their basic needs, happiness tends to lie in the quality of our relationships. In addition to having a strong family network, belonging to some kind of community or social group will also contribute to our happiness. We tend to gain self-esteem and a sense of belonging from being part of a group with whom there is a shared identity and common values. Most groups provide social support and depending on the type of group for example religious groups, will also encourage optimistic

Taylor Kelley Period 4 FCAT Essay A person with an outgoing personality, like myself, can be both blessed and cursed. Any given trait has both a positive and a negative aspect depending on the time and circumstances.

Some may think the positive aspects of having an outgoing personality outweigh the negative aspects, others may think oppositely.

Since the true path to happiness, according to Epictetus, is the attainment of virtue, we can all become happier by improving ourselves, whether morally or intellectually. Furthermore, Epictetus' philosophy of happiness would lead us to live less stressful lives if we came to worry about only that which we can control. Still, while I admire Epictetus and his philosophy, I do not believe that most of us could be happy purely through the attainment of virtue. I believe that social support and some level of material possessions are necessary for happiness; we cannot forever strive only for virtue. I do, however, believe that Epictetus had a strong point when he asserted that we should only, rationally-speaking, worry about what we can change -- what good is there in worrying about things we cannot
Task 1 Health Promotion The aim of this assignment is to provide a definition of health and explain the potential impact of socio-economic factors on the health of children, also to research two different health promotion programmes. I see the definition of health is when a person is in a good general mental well being, a good physical and social state, and that they are free of illness.

According to Wikipedia the definition of health is: ‘Health can be defined negatively, as the absence of illness, functionally, as the ability to cope with everyday activities, or positively, as fitness and
We are more likely to form a relationship with those people who are associated with pleasant event e.g. we are more likely to like someone when we are in a happy mood opposed to unhappy. Support for this theory comes from Griffitt and Guay, they found that higher ratings were given when the experimenter had positively evaluated the participants, thus showing the importance of positive stimuli in relationship formation. Although, the reward / need satisfaction theory doesn’t take into account cultural and gender differences in the formation of romantic relationships. Lott suggests that in many cultures are more focused on the needs of others rather than receiving reinforcement.
