Mental Health @ Work

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health as a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community. The definition includes the words ‘work well,’ indicating the importance of positive mental well-being at work. One must understand that mental health does not always mean a state of insanity that needs rehabilitation. It exists on a complex continuum. Mental health issues range from an optimal state of well-being to the most draining states of emotional pain and suffering.
