As you can see, psychological health involves
how your emotions, thoughts, and behavior interplay with each other and with
the world around you. There is an
important mind-body connection in terms of your psychological health having a
significant impact on your physical health and vice versa. Psychological health is not just the absence
of mental illness, and there is a range or continuum of psychological
health. Possessing a positive
self-concept, developing high self-esteem, and cultivating an optimistic
attitude towards life can promote psychological health and enhance
relationships with others. While
heredity plays a role in the development of personality and psychological
health, environmental factors and stressors seem to have an equally important
role. As people age and come across
developmental milestones, they encounter new challenges, obstacles, and
resources in continuing to maintain their psychological health.
