mental
Significado: Relating to the mind; involving thinking or the brain
Mental is an adjective relating to the mind, thinking, or psychological processes. It is commonly used in terms like 'mental health' (psychological well-being), 'mental illness' (psychiatric conditions), and 'mental arithmetic' (calculations done in one's head). In British slang, 'mental' can mean crazy or intense, though this usage may be considered insensitive in mental health contexts.
