What is mental wellbeing as a continuum?Show answer
Mental wellbeing is a state in which a person can cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and contribute to their community. It is best understood as a continuum: a person's mental state can sit anywhere from mentally healthy, through a mental health problem (a temporary disruption, often in response to a stressor), to a diagnosable mental disorder. A person's position on the continuum can shift over time in either direction, and the continuum is dynamic, not fixed.
