The term mental health is good for me. It promotes a feeling that taking care of your mental health is as important as physical health. Physical health usual is broken down into specific areas and conditions. Mental health is psychological. However many mental health symptoms can be caused by physical health and conditions.

If you ever go to Veterans health care for an appointment you will be asked dozens of questions on your mental health not just physical. I don't go there anymore but when I did I found this very important and an overlooked area during medical appointments for physical symptoms and conditions.
