Which statement best distinguishes mental health from mental illness?

Mental health is a state of well-being with the ability to cope, adapt, and function; mental illness refers to diagnosable disorders that disrupt thoughts, emotions, or behavior and impair functioning.

Mental health refers to a state of well-being in which a person can cope with normal stresses, adapt to changes, and function effectively in daily life. Mental illness refers to diagnosable conditions that disrupt thoughts, emotions, or behavior and impair functioning. This distinction captures the difference between overall well-being and the presence of specific, clinically identifiable disorders. It also reflects that mental health is about more than just the absence of illness and includes emotional and social aspects, while mental illness is about identifiable conditions that may require treatment. In addition, many mental illnesses are treatable with therapy, medication, and support, countering the notion that they cannot be treated.

Mental health and mental illness are the same.

Mental health is only physical well-being.
