Terminology Review:  

Mental health is a term used when discussing a person’s overall wellbeing.  Positive mental health is a condition where a person recognizes their strength and needs, copes with life stressors, engages in routines that support their own personal wellbeing, and engages in relationships and roles that fit their values and capacity.

Mental illness is a broad term that refers to any condition affecting a person’s emotional, psychological, or social well-being.

A mental health disorder is a clinically diagnosed condition that meets specific diagnostic criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
