Spiritual distress is a state of suffering related to the impaired ability to experience and integrate meaning and purpose in life through one's connectedness with self, others, art, music, literature, nature, or a power greater than oneself. It often arises in the context of illness, loss, or significant life changes, and can impact emotional well-being and coping mechanisms.

Emotional well-being refers to the overall positive state of one's emotions, life satisfaction, and sense of purpose, which are crucial for mental health and resilience. It involves the ability to manage emotions effectively, maintain fulfilling relationships, and cope with stress and challenges in a healthy manner.

Emotional Well-being

Coping mechanisms are strategies or behaviors that individuals use to manage stress, emotional pain, or difficult situations. They can be adaptive, promoting resilience and well-being, or maladaptive, potentially leading to negative outcomes and worsening stress over time.
