It is the "psychological state of someone who is functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional and behavioral adjustment". There are more than 200 classified forms of mental illness. Mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life, and create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. 50% of mental health conditions begin by age 14 and 75% of mental health conditions develop by age 24. Prevention of a mental disorder at a young age may significantly decrease the chances that a child will suffer from it in the later life.

Psychological resilience is termed as an individual's ability to adapt to stress and adversity. Resilience is one's ability to bounce back from a negative experience. It is identified in an average individual and it can be learned and virtually developed by anyone. It emerged as a major theoretical and research topic from the studies of children of schizophrenic mothers. A number of approaches to resilience-building have been developed, gathering attention mainly on the theory and practice of cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy. An emerging field in the study of resilience is the neurobiological basis of resilience to stress. The aim of the session is to understand about, resilience, its biological models and approaches, ability and psychological resilience.

Wellness is a proactive and positive approach to living that increases resiliency to stress by promoting life balance and contentment. Wellness concerns about maintaining an overall quality of life and the pursuit of optimal emotional, mental, and physical health. Focusing on health and wellness is particularly important for people with, or at risk for, behavioral health conditions. People with mental and/or substance use disorders typically die years earlier than the general population. The way you think about something has a big impact on your mental health. Changes in your thoughts often go along with changes in your mental health. Mental health is determined by our overall patterns of thoughts, emotions, behaviors and body reactions. Good mental health is likely to help protect against development of many such problems.

Psychopathology is a term which refers to either the study of mental illness or mental distress or the manifestation of behaviors and experiences which may be indicative of mental illness or psychological impairment. Mostly psychiatrists and clinical psychologists are particularly interested in this area and may either be involved in clinical treatment of mental illness, or research into the origin, development and manifestations of such states, or often, both. Psychiatrists in particular are interested in descriptive psychopathology, which has the aim of describing the symptoms and syndromes of mental illness. The current dialogue among doctors and researchers treating mental disorders explores the intersection of genetics and environment in major mental illnesses.

Mental retardation also known as Intellectual disability (ID) or intellectual development disorder (IDD) or general learning disability. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired functioning. It is caused due to malnutrition, improper brain functioning, fetal alcohol syndrome, brain damage caused by the use of prescription or illegal drugs during pregnancy; brain injury and disease; and genetic disorders, such as down syndrome and fragile X syndrome. It is mostly seen in age below 18. About 2–3 percent of the general population is affected by Intellectual disability. 75–90% of the affected people have mild intellectual disability. Non-syndromic affects about 30–50 percent of cases and about a quarter of cases are caused by a genetic disorder. People with intellectual disabilities as a group have higher rates of adverse health conditions such as epilepsy and neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disorders and behavioral or psychiatric problems compared to people without disabilities. The target of the session includes the depth discussion about the mental retardation, its epidemiology.
