Mental Health Also known as the psychological, reasoning or intellectual dimension. Realistic acceptance of life’s circumstances and the utilization of choices and options available are characteristics of positive mental health.
Social Health Most individuals thrive in the presence of a supporting, loving, and accepting social environment. On the other hand, some of the most severe forms of unhappiness result from difficulties involving human interaction. Socially healthy people are more harmonious in their dealings with others, and demonstrate helpfulness and cooperation. Skills in handling disagreements and managing conflicts are earmarks of the socially healthy.
Emotional Health Emotions are both easy and difficult to understand. Many people have difficulty controlling their emotions or understanding the cause or impact of these emotions. The key issue is to recognize that humans are subjected to emotional responses and that these can be positive as well as negative. The emotionally healthy person is able to recognize a feeling response in him/herself as well as in others and then analy7ze whether it is a productive or non-productive reaction.
Spiritual Health Throughout history, most societies have held to some sort of belief system that involves something beyond themselves. Human history is filled with examples of people being discriminated against and at times even harmed because of their particular method of expressing or acting out their spirituality. Spiritually healthy individuals are able to hold firmly to a belief system, have faith in and gain strength from a belief in something beyond themselves, yet, do not feel the need to belittle, demean, or interfere with the spiritual focus of others.
