To understand what is meant by mental health problems, you first need to be able to differentiate between the many terms used in mental health. Therefore, this chapter will explore the many connotations of mental health, prompting you to consider patients in your care as well as your own mental health. Differences between mental health, wellbeing, distress, problems and illness will all be examined. We will also explore the relationship between mental and physical health, which is fundamental for those of you practising in non-mental health environments. Finally, health promotion will be discussed, focusing on promoting good mental health.
