Mental health is the capacity to think rationally and logically, and to cope with stresses and traumas in ways that allow emotional stability. Mentally healthy individuals perceive reality as it is, respond to challenges, carry out their responsibilities, and deal reasonably with others. It is vitally important that President Donald Trump have good mental health.

A mental disorder is a behavioral or psychological condition or syndrome that causes significant distress, disability, disturbed functioning, or increased risk of harm or pain to one’s self or others. The mental health professions’ gold standard for making a mental disorder diagnosis in the United States is the pattern of symptoms, or diagnostic criteria, as defined for the disorders in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

Diagnosticians also look for personality disorders, which are long-standing patterns of thinking and behaving that cause distress or interfere with normal functioning. Individuals with personality disorders are more likely to fall into a pattern of repeated crises in their lives and to develop other emotional and mental problems.
