Explanation: In general, what an individual does (the individual's behavior), how that individual relates to others (the individual's interpersonal relationships between his or her self and others), and how that individual relates to him or herself (the individual's intrapersonal relationships within the mind or the self), provide evidence of psychological, emotional, and social health. There is no evidence that age and gender play a role in defining a mentally healthy individual.
