The World Health Organization (WHO) characterises mental health (MH) as the ability to realise one's full potential, cope effectively with stress, work productively, and contribute to community (World Health Organisation, 2014). WHO (2014) define a mental health disorder as comprising a broad range of problems, with different symptoms, generally characterised by a combination of abnormal thoughts, emotions, behaviour and relationships with others. Examples are schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and disorders due to drug abuse (WHO, 2014). Mental health disorder and other terms, such as MH problem (MHP) and mental illness, are used interchangeably with definitions overlapping (Mind, 2017). For the purpose of this thesis, I will refer to the term 'MHP', which is described as ranging from common problems such as depression and anxiety torarer problems such as schizophrenia and bi polar disorder (Mind, 2017).
