Philosophy Coffee Series: 'Who is Mentally Healthy?'
Denison University’s Department of Philosophy presents its Philosophy Coffee Series: “"Who is Mentally Healthy?"
There seems to be widespread disagreement about what the field of psychology can and should contribute to a collective conception of mental health. While many people are diagnosed with mental illness, there are few discussions about what constitutes mental health in general. These kinds of conversations seem to be lacking on college campuses, schools, and other social institutions. Why is it so much easier for us to define what mental illness is than to understand mental health? Mental health is often positioned as something we ought to strive for. What exactly is it that we are striving for?
Complimentary coffee and snacks served.
