Document Summary

A complex interaction of psychological and social processes. Includes emotional, mental, social and spiritual states. Could be seen as a balance between the dimensions of wellness. Many individuals struggle to find a balance in early adulthood due to a great number of transitions. Umbrella term for the four areas of wellness. A balance of all the dimensions of health. Wider scope of possibilities than any other life stage. Wouldn"t necessarily see this in history or other cultures. There are more possibilities at this stage than any other and we don"t know what will happen. You have a routine for yourself with your responsibilities. How can we support psychosocial health: connect with others. Give and receive care: stay positive (pessimists = more stress) Experience a range of emotions while coping in a healthy way: deal better with hard times. Doing for other is a bigger descriptor of a strong emotional health. Ability to perceive reality as it is.
