A GoodTherapy.org News Headline
A new study performed in Iceland has suggested that co-habiting couples with instances of poor physical health are more prone to encountering many different types of abuse over the course of their relationship. The new information is leading many agencies and scholars to call for a greater attention to mental health services and the availability of therapy for people who are seriously or frequently sick. While psychological health showed a much greater susceptibility to abuse, physical health was shown to decline in the presence of such relationship issues.

Maybe this is a perfect way to show the correlation with how much of an impact mental health plays on overall wellness?
I thought mental health WAS wellness.
If someone is not doing well mentally they will MOST likely have an UNWELL AFFECT…no?
Who are we fooling here?
Did not mean to step on any toes here. I simply meant the way that mental and physical health are interrelated. I think that for most of us there is still that distinction, whether that is right or wrong.And it is quite obvious that these two play a major impact upon one another.
