Sažetak
Prevention, protection and taking care of mental health are topics that are important for the future of every society, but they also play a crucial role in maintaining general health at the level of individual. Mental health is hugely important if we take into consideration characteristics of modern lifestyle and challenges placed before each individual. On the other hand, despite the global importance of this public health issue, for many countries, problems pertaining to poor mental health and its improvement often remain marginalized. To prevent this, it is important to develop strategies to circumvent various forms of mental, emotional and behavioral problems and promote mental health in both public health sector and public policies that require a high level of cooperation between government departments and agencies. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of two concepts, the concept of prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral problems and mental health promotion, and to frame their relationship, bearing in mind their similarities and differences and their connection with the modern concept of positive mental health. In addition, a critical insight into the relationship between the two concepts is presented in order to facilitate and deepen the understanding of all the difficulties and obstacles a society has to face when it comes to the prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral problems and the promotion of mental health.
