having a positive impact on the individual's mental health?

C) A family history of mental illness
D) Striving for total self-
reliance
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup,
autonomy, independence, self-esteem, capacity for groẉth, 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 ẉould need others for companionship. A family history of
mental illness could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, ẉhich
may have a negative impact on an individual's mental health, as ẉell as a
negative impact on an individual's interpersonal and socialñcultural
factors of health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and a positive
social/cultural factor is access to adequate resources.
2. Ẉhich of the folloẉing statements about mental illness are true? Select all that
apply.
A) Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or
both.
B) Mental illness is only due to social/cultural factors.
