Usage Notes

心理健康 is a compound noun: 心理 (psychology/mindset) + 健康 (health). While 心理 alone means "psychology" or "mental/psychological," 健康 means "health" or "healthy." Together they form "mental health." This term is increasingly used in Chinese media and education as awareness of mental wellbeing grows. The opposite concept is 心理问题 (psychological problems) or 心理障碍 (psychological disorder).

Memory Hook

心理 (mind/psychology) + 健康 (health) — mental health is simply the "health of your mind."
