A psychologist defined mental health as "a set of techniques and preventive measures aimed at promoting healthy emotional growth" and stated: mental health is not a static condition, but rather a dynamic and ongoing process that begins in childhood and continues throughout an individual's life. Mental health is the product of a complex interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors, and its assessment should also be based on multifaceted criteria, not merely the absence of disease symptoms.
