Mental health is nothing but the preservation of the intellectual, emotional, intestinal and physical health of the children. Mental health and physical health act and react on each other. The mind cannot be sound unless the body is sound, and the body is adversely affected if if there are mental tensions and disequilibrium. Hence a good mental health is to assist every individual in the attainment of fuller, happier, more harmonious and more effective existence.

Crow and Crow defines “Mental health is the preservation of the intellectual, emotional, intestinal and physical health of the children.”
