Cognitive component

The cognitive component of mental health is really to do with thinking and being able to work things out. It includes the ability of an individual to learn, to have awareness (consciousness) and to perceive reality. At a higher level it also involves having a memory and being able to reason rationally and solve problems, as well as being able to work creativity and have a sense of imagination.
