2. What is mental health ? Mental health is an integral part of health  there is no health without mental health. Mental health is determined by a range of socioeconomic , biological and environmental factors. "Health is a state of complete physical , mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.“ (WHO)
