Careers in Mental Health

Mental Health describes a level of cognitive or emotional well being or an absence of a mental disorder. From the perspectives of the discipline of positive psychology or holism, mental health may include an individual’s ability to enjoy life and procure a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Mental Health is an expression of emotions and signifies a successful adaptation to a range of demands. This is a very specialised field. Experts produced are contributing in their own specific fields by correcting the patient’s mental disorders.
