Abstract :
Health is the most essential part of social welfare which depends on socioeconomic conditions other than medical interventions. While health is one of the
pivotal concepts of sustainable development, mental
health is one of the most important of its components
(1). Mentally healthy individuals are able to perform
their daily activities, communicate with their family
members and environment, and behave in accordance
with their culture and society . As a principle health index in societies, mental
health has attracted the attention of psychologists,
psychotherapists, and other social and behavioral scientists.
