摘要
Many practitioners and organizations see mental health as a kind of well-being. Recently, several philosophers have criticized this view. I argue that these criticisms are mistaken; mental health is a kind of well-being, specifically psychological well-being. Recognition of this point indicates that standard approaches to mental health rest on sound philosophical foundations and also illuminates the nature of mental health itself.
