IMPROVEMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH STATUS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

Dr. Amit Kumar Mishra*

ABSTRACT

WHO defines Health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”.[1] As per the definition there are three dimensions of health, physical, mental and social, which need equal attention while considering health of an individual. But, the physical health is always given priority over the others and mental health is being always neglected.
