Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy, independence,
self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life, emotional resilience or
hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and coping or stress management abilities.
Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of separateness and connectedness are both
needed for good mental health, and therefore a
healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history of mental illnesscould
relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impacton an
individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact on an individual's interpersonal and
socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and a positive social/cultural
factor is access to adequate resources.
