Mental health is determined by a range of socioeconomic, biological and environmental factors.
Wellbeing
Wellbeing is defined by the UK Department of Health as feeling good and functioning well, and comprises each individual’s experience of their life and a comparison of life circumstances with social norms and values. Wellbeing can be both subjective and objective.
