Mental health
isessential to
every stage of
life from
infants to the
elderly.In
addition,
according to
WHO
(2018):Mental
health is the
foundation for
the well-being
and effective
functioning
ofindividuals.
It is more than
the absence of
a mental
disorder; it is
the ability to
think,learn,
and
understand
one's
emotions and
the reactions
of others.
Mental health
is a stateof
balance, both
within and
with the
environment.A
n awareness of
fitness,
pleasure, and
success is
called mental
well-being
(Davis,
2019).Davis
(2019) also
added that
mental well-
being involves
a sense of
handling
stress, a sense
ofintention or
value,
happiness in
life, and the
maintenance
of mental
health.
