Well-Being-Your Psychological Health Index

Psychological Well-being



The Psychological Health Index 

It is remarkably useful way to ask people: “How are you doing?” How is your mood today? How are you feeling today? In the same way that it is a good idea for healthy individuals to monitor their blood pressure on at least an occasional basis, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on your moods. Mood is a vital sign of mental and emotional well-being.

It is Health that is Real Wealth

Act as a Master of Your Life by putting your Health, Well-being and Happiness First.

Creating a Healthy Mindset is an investment in your overall Wellbeing.


What is Wellbeing, Quality of life & Wellness?

Generally well-being refers to “a life going well” in a variety of ways. Its meaning and contents fluctuates dependent on who is using it, and why they are using it.

Ordinarily life often presents the individual with extraordinary challenges, complexities, setbacks and hardships. Psychological health concerns itself with how you cope, how you are doing in response and whether you find life to be interesting and enjoyable. In the end, psychological health and well-being is basically about: “How Are You Doing?”

Wellness is the condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained proper diet, exercise and habits.

High level wellness involves giving good care to your physical self, using your mind constructively, expressing your emotions effectively, being creatively involved with those around you and being concerned about your physical, psychological and spiritual environment.

Johnson (1978) has defined well-being in a form of happiness as “a global assessment of a person’s quality of life according to his own chosen criteria”.

Carol Ryff said, “Happiness is everything, or is it? She contrasts this with subjective well-being or hedonic well-being.

Positive psychological definitions of Well-being generally include some of 6 general characteristics:

1.  The active pursuit of well-being

2.  A balance of attributes

3.  Positive emotions or life satisfaction

4.  Prosocial behavior

5.  Multiple dimension

6.  Personal optimization.

WHO defines wellness as: “Wellness is the optimal state of health of individuals and groups. There are two focal concerns: the realization of the fullest potentials of an individual physically, psychologically, socially, spiritually and economically and the fulfillment of one’s role expectations in the family, workplace, community and other settings.


Well-being is a Holistic and Multidimensional concept

There is no physical well-being without psychological well-being. Health psychologists suggests how stress affects our immune system and our psychological health or how being happy or in a good mood can even minimize cancer symptoms and development

·        Psychological Well-being: feeling mentally at ease.

·        Environmental Comfort: Being comfortable in one’s physical surroundings.

·        Emotional Well-being: A person should feel happy and not be prone to emotional fluctuations.

·        Physical Well-being: Healthy Living: People should have the ability to obtain healthy food and to exercise.

·        Subjective Well-being (SWB) was defined by Deiner (2009) as the general evaluation of one’s quality of life. It has 3 components:

1.  A cognitive appraisal that one’s life is good (life Satisfaction).

2.  Experiencing positive levels of pleasant emotions;

3.  Experiencing relatively low levels of negative moods.

Psychological and Emotional health and well-being should not be confused with the question of whether or not you suffer from mental or emotional disorder. When we talk about psychological health, we are referring to how ordinarily people are doing in life. In other words, if you are feeling distressed, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you are mentally ill.


Well-being has two separate issues

 The upside involves two factors: “Is your mood generally positive, and “Do you enjoy a number of Positive emotional ties”. In other words, “are you happy” and “do you generally feel calm and peaceful”.

The downside, involves three factors: “Do you suffer anxiety, are you depressed, and do you feel like you have lost control and can’t do anything about your feelings”. This is the other side of the coin, the experience of the psychological distress.
