“Mental health is an integral part of health; indeed, there is no health without mental health” (World Health Organization, 2014). Furthermore, the World Health Organization website (WHO) defines mental health as: “a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community” (World Health Organization, 2014).
