individual's mental health?

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
socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and a positive
social/cultural factor is access to adequate resources.

A) Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both.

or withdrawal from relationships.

life.
