Mental health is an integral and essential component of health.
The WHO constitution states:
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." An important consequence of this definition is that mental health is described as more than the absence of mental disorders or disabilities.

Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and is able to make a contribution to his or her community. In this positive sense, mental health is the foundation for individual well-being and the effective functioning of a community.

Holistic HealthHolistic Health
When the mind gives up, the body does too or when the body is weak, the mind follows suit… Therefore, the bottom line clearly is, that treatment and care for health problems need to be all encompassing, addressing the body and mind as one entity. Primary healthcare must adopt an integrated approach to health issues by looking at the body to heal the mind, and treating the mind to cure the body.
