our maturity has nothing to do with our life experience. it has something to do with our inward journey,experience of the inner.
so mental health cannot be developed in a social vacuum.powerful factors operate against it as our present society is constituted.to promote positive mental health will therefore require the cooperation and help of many individuals and groups.medical and social scientists need to look squarely at these factors and abandoning professional isolation,cooperate in an attempt to counteract them.mental health can only be achieved in an environment which provides opportunities for self expression,and the attainment of human satisfaction.preventive psychiatry is only beginning,and its only sure tool at present lies in educating the public in the meaning and cause of mental disorders and the ways of developing positive mental health.
