What is good mental health? A scoping review.

Abstract in brief

• The article highlights that promoting good mental health in young people, both with and without mental disorders, has not been sufficiently researched or supported by established interventions, partly due to the difficulty in defining and operationalizing what "good mental health" truly means.
• It emphasizes the need for a clear, standardized conceptual framework to measure good mental health, outlining multiple core domains such as mental health literacy, emotional regulation, social skills, physical health, and overall life satisfaction.
• The authors advocate for further empirical research using these well-defined domains to build stronger evidence, identify effective pathways for mental health promotion, and develop better preventive and intervention strategies.]
