Not all statistically infrequent traits are negative. Some mental health conditions are relatively normal. For example, 1/6 people have depression
Front Evaluate deviation from ideal mental health
Back . It's a culturally biased definition of mental health, American, individualistic societal standards are applied.. The criteria is too strict and deviation from any criteria point means you're mentally abnormal.. It's a positive and hollistic definition focusing on numerous aspects and trying to fix issues.
