What is the medical definition of mental health?

Dr. Gregory Goldmananswered

Absence of disorder: Mental health is largely defined using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), which identifies the known ways that mental health can be compromised. If your problems do not cause significant distress or impairment, you are seen as relatively mentally healthy. Of course, these terms are quite subjective, so specific symptoms and thresholds are listed in the DSM.
