Mental health is a concept that refers to a human individual's emotional and psychological well-being. Merriam-Webster defines mental health as "A state of emotional and psychological well-being in which an individual is able to use his or her cognitive and emotional capabilities, function in society, and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life."

being mentally stable has nothing to do with being a "productive member of society". it means loving yourself, feeling good about yourself, being able to do what you love, being spiritual, expressing yourself. **** society! do you think our society and government is stable at this time? why would you want to adapt to a sick society? the first step is loving yourself.
