Summary
According to the World Health Organization, mental health is a state of well-being in which individuals realize their strengths and society can be stable and develop. Subjective well-being is closely connected to mental health, and improving subjective well-being positively affects individuals and society.
Subjective well-being refers to an individual's emotional and cognitive evaluation of his/her quality of life, which involves both cognitive evaluation and emotional experience of life. In terms of cognitive evaluation, this issue focuses on the negative effects of addictive behaviors such as alcoholism, gambling, and drug addiction on the construction of subjective well-being; emotional experience covers both positive and negative directions, and the study of psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and bipolar disorder, which can produce strong negative emotions, are more important for the construction of subjective well-being.
