The Formula For Complete Health
Health is a state of complete physical, mental state and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity(World Health Organization,WHO){italics added}.The definition has not been amended since April 7, 1948.
According this definition of health by the WHO you cannot be healthy if you neglect your mental state and social well-being because they are crucial sources of complete health. That means there is no health without mental health. And the absence of physical health problems is not an indication that one is truly healthy.
However, people generally take their physical health more seriously while failing to acknowledge or totally ignoring their mental health. Failure to examine your mental and social states can cause major psychological problems if not dictated early and taken care of and left to worsen.
No wonder we have so many people who seem “healthy” physically; without any pathology/disease/infirmity suddenly develop psychological problems/mental disorders.
