Mental health is a state of balance between the individual and surrounding world, a state of harmony between oneself and other, co-existences between the realities of the self and that of other people and the environment. The American psychiatric association (APA 1980) defines as mental health as simultaneous success at working, loving and creating with the capacity for mature and flexible resolutions of conflicts between instincts, conscience, important other people and reality. This mental health would include not only the absence of diagnosis labels such as schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder, but also the ability to cope with the stressors of daily living freedom from anxieties and generally a positive outlook towards lives vicissitudes and to cope with those.
