Positive Mental Health

 Positive mental health refers to the presence of positive emotions and good functioning (in both
individual and social environments).
The studies has shown that individuals with high positive mental health are less likely to develop
depression and chronic disease. By focusing our efforts towards improving one’s overall mental
wellbeing, we can get individuals “ahead of the curve” and prevent them from even being
depressed in the first place.

 It’s important to remember that positive mental health is not simply the absence of mental
health issues, such as depression or anxiety.

According to studies, positive emotions have been scientifically proven to increase people’s
open-mindedness. Those with more positive emotions have been more willing to try new
things and open up to other people,

These positive emotions connect greatly to one’s ability to be resilient, and there is research
to be done in the overlap between possessing these emotions and being able to recover from
situations of trauma and conflict that can be mentally straining.
