Mental health describes a level of psychological well-being, or an absence of a mental disorder. From the perspective of 'positive psychology' or 'holism', mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life, and create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Mental health can also be defined as an expression of emotions, and as signifying a successful adaptation to a range of demands.
The World Health Organization defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community". It was previously stated that there was no one "official" definition of mental health. Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how "mental health" is defined. There are different types of mental health problems, some of which are common, such as depression and anxiety disorders, and some not so common, such as schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder.
Let's go
The lights are on but there is no one home
Yeah, I'm the type of guy that shouldn't be left alone
They say just one more night of observation
There's nothing like a permanent vacation
I break down like you want me to
But I will not give control to you
Sniff like a pound of glue
Forget all the things you'll put me through
Dial up the residue
Now I'm nuts, just like a blue cashew
I go psycho, psycho
Psycho, psycho
And all I want is to go home just for a bit
But these padded rooms are the shit
Whoa, I'm happy in my mental health
Whoa, these conversations with myself
Whoa, they say that only time will tell
Whatever I'm happy in my mental health
I'm happy in my mental health
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, go
Hey, meet a friend of mine, now where'd he go?
He's probably sitting there but you would never know
They say just one more shock, try not to resist
They say lie down and bite on this
You let the shocks away
But the voices in my head are here to stay
No bullshit tests today
I get more drugs than the DEA
One day they'll do a play
They take your shoelaces away
We go psycho, psycho
Psycho, psycho
And all I want is to go home just for a bit
But these padded rooms are the shit
Whoa, I'm happy in my mental health
Whoa, these conversations with myself
Whoa, they say that only time will tell
Whatever I'm happy in my mental health
Straitjacket, bad habit
'Cause I live for the havoc
This static, illmatic
Double dose is just like magic
Straight jacket, let's have it
You pump up all my panic
Welcome, this is my life
A padded room up in the attic
And all I want is to go home just for a bit
But these padded rooms are the shit
Whoa, I'm happy in my mental health
Whoa, these conversations with myself
Whoa, they say that only time will tell
Whatever I'm happy in my mental health
Psycho, psycho
I'm happy in my mental health
Psycho, psycho
I'm happy in my mental health
Psycho, psycho
I'm happy in my mental health
Psycho, psycho
