Beskrivelse
Mental wealth is a concept looked at two main aspects of the mental development of a person, i.e. mental capital and mental wellbeing. Mental capital encompasses both cognitive and emotional resources. It includes people's cognitive ability; their flexibility and efficiency
at learning; and their emotional intelligence, or social skills and resilience in the face of stress. It is "the metaphorical bank account of the mind", which gets enhanced or depleted throughout the life course, hence mental capital synonymous with mental health status of an individual. Mental wellbeing is refers to an individual's ability to develop their potential, work productively and creatively, build strong and positive relationships with others and contribute to their community. How to enhance mental health and wellbeing of people from birth to old age is a challenging question. Childhood and adolescence are crucial periods for laying the foundations for healthy development and wellbeing.
