The Lost ARC / Unit 6 ARC 126 short lesson, about 20 seconds
More Than the Absence of Illness
Captions available
The idea
Corey Keyes's two thousand two model defines mental health as the presence of positive feeling and positive functioning, not merely the absence of mental illness.
In practice
A person with no diagnosis at all who is still, in Keyes's term, languishing rather than flourishing.
Where people slip
The book builds its fifth condition, flourishing, on this distinction: fine is not the same as well.
