There are different characteristics and behaviors a person demonstrates that can be categorized along the continuum of being psychosocially healthy vs. being psychosocially unhealthy. Those who are unhealthy psychosocially are at risk for the onset of an illness. Individuals who are psychosocially healthy will demonstrate a zest for life, manage time well, are adaptable to change, demonstrate coping skills, and respect nature. Those who are psychosocially unhealthy will demonstrate pessimism, will openly laugh at others, are a "challenge" to be around, have little fun, and are self-absorbed.
