psychological well-being

Inner emotional balance

Psychological well-being is a person's overall mental and emotional health—their sense of happiness, purpose, and ability to cope with life's challenges.

The term appears in research and clinical contexts: Studies link exercise to improved psychological well-being.

It encompasses satisfaction with life, positive relationships, and a feeling of personal growth, distinct from mere absence of mental illness.
