本文概述了心理健康连续体的概念和诊断,支持心理健康和疾病的两个连续体模型的研究结果,以及繁荣对个人和社会的好处。完全精神健康的成年人-没有12个月的精神障碍和抑郁症的人-报告了最少的缺勤天数,最少的半天或更长时间的工作削减,最健康的心理社会功能(即,低无助感、明确的生活目标、高复原力和高亲密度)、心血管疾病风险最低、随着年龄增长慢性身体疾病数量最少、日常生活活动的健康限制最少、医疗保健利用率较低。然而,在成年人口中,蓬勃发展的流行率仅为20%,这表明需要一个促进精神健康的国家计划,以补充正在进行的预防和治疗精神疾病的努力。调查结果显示,黑人在精神健康方面的优势是蓬勃发展,白人之间没有性别差异。
This article summarizes the conception and diagnosis of the mental health continuum, the findings supporting the two continua model of mental health and illness, and the benefits of flourishing to individuals and society. Completely mentally healthy adults-individuals free of a 12-month mental disorder and flourishing-reported the fewest missed days of work, the fewest half-day or greater work cutbacks, the healthiest psychosocial functioning (i.e., low helplessness, clear goals in life, high resilience, and high intimacy), the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease, the lowest number of chronic physical diseases with age, the fewest health limitations of activities of daily living, and lower health care utilization. However, the prevalence of flourishing is barely 20% in the adult population, indicating the need for a national program on mental health promotion to complement ongoing efforts to prevent and treat mental illness. Findings reveal a Black advantage in mental health as flourishing and no gender disparity in flourishing among Whites.
