Mental health refers to a person’s psychological and emotional wellbeing.

		+	[https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240053052 WHO guidelines on mental health at work], published by the World Health Organization in 2022, defines mental health as: ‘A state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, to realize their abilities, to learn well and work well, and to contribute to their communities. Mental health is an integral component of health and well-being and is more than the absence of mental disorder.’
		+
		+	It suggests that mental health conditions covers: ‘mental disorders and psychosocial disabilities. It also covers other mental states associated with significant distress, impairment in functioning or risk of self-harm. It thus includes significant emotional distress.’

	According to the UK’s Mental Health Task Force (2016): 'Mental health problems represent the largest single cause of disability in the UK. The cost to the economy is estimated at £105bn a year – roughly the cost of the entire NHS.'
