emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and cope with life.” The 1999 US Surgeon General’s Report on Mental Health defined mental health as “successful performance of mental function, resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with other people, and the ability to change and cope with adversity”(Knopf, Park, and Muyle 2008). The World Health Organization’s (WHO) World Health Report released in 2001 stated that “mental health is defined differently by different experts from different cultures. Concepts of mental health include the following: Subjective well-being; Perceived self- efficacy; Autonomy; Competence; Intergenerational dependence; and Self-actualization of one’s intellectual and emotional potential, among others.” One’s personal thoughts and feelings about one’s overall state of being
Good mental health is tied to the
individual’s self-concept and emotions about him.
A person with a healthy self-concept or self-
identity exudes charm and confidence, is usually sociable, productive, and can maintain healthy relationships, a positive warm regard for oneself serves as a foundation for mental health. Negative thinking (unattractiveness, inadequacy)
negative feelings (jealousy, paranoia)
and behavior (loss of interest in studies,
shunning away people) will result to a negative self concept and will have a negative effect on one’s mental health and well-being.
These can trigger mental disorders if not
addressed immediately. Self-efficacy is one’s perception of one’s value and worth, effectiveness, and ability in performing a task or activity.
Mental health and well- being is also
anchored on one’s self-worth and value or self-esteem. Low self esteem
set of behavior that are self-destructive
or self- sabotaging
Example: low self-esteem (feeling of unworthiness of love due to flaws)
negative emotion would arise like
HOPELESSNESS followed by negative behavior like drug/alcohol addiction On the other hand, a person with a healthy self-concept will move toward self-fulfilment and self-actualization, have healthy relationships, and live happier and fulfilling lives. Autonomy deals with one’s capacity to separate one’s identity from other significant persons like parents, lovers, and special friends. It is the capacity of self direction and having a clearly defined role identity. Autonomy is crucial since it defines how a person interacts with other people. Lack of autonomy can lead to co- dependence among those who cannot define themselves as separate entities from people they depend on either emotionally, physically, socially, spiritually, or even financially.
Can lead to relational conflicts as some
stay away from overly needy or clingy individuals. Is related to self-esteem and identity
Is the perception of one’s capacity to
effectively perform a function or activity using specific skills and knowledge, and achieving the desired results at a given time. An individual who is always competent will always assume full responsibility for the actions and results of his behavior.
A competent person will adapt to the
changes, understand why such changes happen, and will adjust his attitudes and actions according to the new demands that those changes bring. Refers to the relationships between individuals who belong to different generations but may be living separately as independent, autonomous persons during a specific period of time. Example: Grown up children, pursuing their own dreams, and are forming their own “nests,” their parents, who may already be retired by then, are usually left at home. This phenomenon is referred to as the “empty nest.” With healthy relationships, older parents will often be visited by their children
Trend today: children providing care to
their parents while maintaining their own independence.
Technology has helped
intergenerational independence thrive as it closes the gap of time and space. The fulfilment of lower level needs does not have to be in sequence or progression.
One person’s need for love may be
stronger than the need for security. Example: parents working abroad Self-actualization is about fulfilling one’s perceived potentials, becoming the person that one has aspired for. Have acceptance of their reality, and have compassion to help solve problems of other people and society in general
Spontaneous with thoughts and
behavior, open to change
Strong need for privacy and solitude
Highly appreciative of events and people

GOOD MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
(state of wellness where every aspect of a person is in balance) Is a short term and temporary change in a person’s thoughts, feelings or behavior that upsets one’s well-being, interpersonal relationships, and productivity. Refers to diagnosable mental disorders characterized by changes in one’s thinking, feeling, and behavior, as well as in one’s relationships and productivity. There is usually distress or impaired functioning during mental illness (Knopf, Park, and Muyle 2008). Conduct or behavior disorders
Anxiety
Depression
Eating disorders
Risk behaviors (sexual, substance abuse,
and violent behavior) CONNECT with the people around you. Spend time developing relationships. Physical activity generates a positive sense of wellness Learning new skills or obtaining new knowledge can give you a sense of achievement and a new confidence. Giving to others is NOT limited to money or other material things. A smile or warm sincere greeting or thank you can brighten up the day for both the giver and receiver. Be in here and now, be in the present moment, be aware of what is happening around you, your own thoughts and feelings, and the physical sensations that you experience. This awareness is referred to as “mindfulness,” and being mindful can positively change the way you feel about your life and how you approach challenges.
