Mental health is more than the absence of mental illness or disorders. So what's the difference between mental health and mental illness? The Two Continua Model of Mental Health and Illness illustrates that it is possible for people to have positive mental health while having a mental illness, just as it is possible to have poor mental health without having a mental illness.
In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Dr. Corey Keyes, a distinguished full professor of Sociology at Emory University, remains to unpack the two continua model of mental health and illness, the concepts of flourishing and languishing, and the urgent need to promote positive mental health to build a flourishing society.
