lk belonging, reality orientation, and coping or stress
lk lk lk lk lk lk




lk management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as lk lk lk lk lk

lk makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impacton an individual's

lk mental health, as well as a negative impact on an individual's interpersonal and
lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk

lk psychological, and social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal lk lk lk lk lk lk lk




lk relationships, effective behavior and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional
lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk




lk stability. Persons who engage in fantasies may be mentally healthy, but the inability
lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk




to distinguish reality from fantasy is an individual factor that may contribute to
lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk lk




lk mental illness. lk
