Mental health

This short and clearly written article explains why mental health is necessarily a moral issue.  Quoting from the article:
The positive conception of mental health is dangerous, because it takes the concept of health, which we usually treat as objective and scientific, and applies it to the questions of how we should think and how we should live. It hides moral and political ideals beneath a veneer of medical inevitability.
