Good mental health or good physical health. Which one is more important to you?

For me it’s mental health

[SueShe]

I would probably chose a good mental health because if you have a good mental health, you can try to influence the physical health by motivating yourself to do something against it and to improve the physical health.

There is a limit however to what you can try to achieve. It depends on what causes the physical issues. If it is a cancer in the last stages or a debilitating condition, you will not be able to positively impact on that physical disability with mental strength only but keeping a good mental condition would help not getting into a depressive state for example.

Would seem to me that one without the other is going to hamper your life in a big way.

As someone who has excellent mental health and chronic issues physically its definitely mental health. The mental health keeps me decently happy and lets me enjoy life, even if my physical condition prevents me from doing a lot of stuff.

if you lack that one... both and more will deteriorate

Without good mental health, your physical health will suffer regardless.

For me, good mental health. Life would be better for me being physically crippled than mentally crippled.

Physical health. If you don't have it teh a healthy brain is worthless

[TonyMetal___1986]

Me too, because a good mental health brings a better physical health

[Iron_Man]

Physical health, but it’s good to have both running smooth

[jahaims]

Poor mental health often leads to poor physical health.

[Staximus]

Physical health, your brain is part of your body

[Kingofkings1992]

What? The two are both tied together. Bad physical health can lead to bad mental health, and vice versa.

[jazzy34]

Both.
