Older people’s mental health
There exists a broad assumption that older people’s mental health is all about dementia. This is untrue. According to Age Concern and the Mental Health Foundation, depression is the most common mental health condition in later life, and there are currently 2.4 million older people in the UK with depression severe enough to impair their […]

Psychological perspectives on mental health
Despite ageing being inevitable, the development of mental health needs at any stage in the lifespan is not. However, myths remain that as a person ages, cognitive changes occur which negatively affect intelligence, creativity and memory.

Mental health and mental illness distinguish
This chapter has argued for mental health and mental illness distinguish. At present most policy and practice is based on the conflation of the two under the one referent ‘mental health’.

Health of the individual versus the community
Whether the main emphasis of mental health promotion should be on the health of the individual or that of the community can be debated.

Foundations and principles of health promotion
A report on the health of the Canadian population (Lalonde 1974) and the Alma Ata Conference (WHO 1978) are widely cited as key contributions in setting the early agenda for health promotion.

Measuring mental health
The final part of this chapter considers what can or should be done to measure mental health. Clearly, from the arguments already made, those who think mental health is the absence of mental illness will make a different measurement from those who take a salutogenic view.

Theories of mental health
Resilience theories There are a number of references to resilience in mental health promotion writing. For example, Joubert and Raeburn place considerable emphasis on ‘resilience’ which they see as ‘a dynamic and human concept’ (p.16) and central to their model of mental health.
