Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup,
autonomy, independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to
find meaning in life, emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging,
reality orientation, and coping or stress management abilities. Interpersonal
factors such as intimacy and a balance of separateness and connectedness are
both needed for good mental health, and therefore a healthy person would need
others for companionship. A family history of mental illness could relate to
the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impact on an
individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact on an individual's
interpersonal and social cultural factors of health. Total self-reliance is
not possible, and a positive social/cultural factor is access to adequate
resources.
