Mental health is a level of psychological well-being, or an absence of mental disorder; it is the "psychological state of someone who is functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional and behavioral adjustment".

The research found that mental disorders are present in approximately half of people who seriously consider killing themselves and two thirds of those who make a suicide attempt. Overall, mental disorders were equally predictive of suicidal thoughts and attempts in developed and developing countries, with a key difference being that the strongest,
