Përmbledhja	The Positive Mental Health Scale (PMHS) is a brief instrument developed to measure mental well-being by assessing the presence of positive mental health dimensions rather than the absence of disorder. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, the PMHS operationalizes mental health as an active state characterized by personal strengths, resilience, coping capacity, and positive functioning. It represents a paradigm shift toward strength-based mental health assessment, viewing mental health and mental illness as distinct continua rather than opposite ends of a single spectrum.	The WHO-5 is a 5-item screening instrument measuring current well-being over the past two weeks. Developed by the World Health Organization in 1998, it assesses positive mental health states and is widely used in both research and clinical practice to identify individuals at risk for depression. Its brevity, validity, and cross-cultural acceptance make it a standard tool in primary care and epidemiological surveys worldwide.
