Matt D'Antuono on Wisdom and Mental Health

"It is not possible to go a day in our world without hearing something about mental health. Laws are passed in the name of mental health. People spend vast amounts of money on medicine and therapy to maintain mental health. Mental health is cited to justify accommodations allowing people to do things that others can't, like bringing an animal into a store, restaurant or airplane. I have heard statistics (the word of god to our society) claiming that one in four people suffer from some mental health disorder. . . .

"
In a narrower, philosophical sense, what would be the meaning of mental health? That depends on the two words in the phrase: mental and health."

In a recent commentary, writer Matt D'Antuono reflected on the relationship between truth and the proper functioning of the mind.
