Do you agree with this definition? Any problems with this definition?

Yes, I do believe you have it right. The problem is if your life is out of balance in one of those areas it tend to effect the others.
Poor health can affect your ability to socialize, which can lead to feelings of loneliness, which can lead to depression, which can lead to neglecting work, losing job, and starting cycle off again.
Poverty can lead to mental stress, leading to ill health, leading to further problems.
Metal illness can lead to social isolation, loss of job opportunities, poverty, poor health, etc.
And you can't stop the cycles until you have all parts in balance.
But perhaps it should read "Perfect health is a state...." because the perfect balance is unachievable.

I wouldn't say anyone could have compete well being in all 3 (unless you are some sort of super human!) but I would say health is governed by those three things, yes.

That's the original WHO (World Health Organisation) definition.
These days some people add "spiritual" to the list

You have hit it on the nail, but spiritual, is included as well.
