Emotional health, frequently called emotional well-being, "refers to how a person thinks and feels, including their ability to cope with life events, their sense of well-being, and how they acknowledge and manage their own emotions and those of others. It's about having the skills to navigate challenges, maintain healthy relationships, and feel good about oneself. Emotional health is a core part of overall mental health and well-being."[2]

Emotional intelligence
See also: Emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence (EI) "refers to the ability to perceive, control and evaluate emotions."[3]
The five components of emotional intelligence are: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.[4]
Emotional regulation
See also: Emotional regulation
Emotional regulation refers to the mental processes by which individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they personally experience and express these emotions. It's a core aspect of emotional intelligence and mental health, enabling people to adapt to situations, maintain personal and business relationships, and achieve their personal goals.[5]
Emotional stability
See also: Emotional stability
Emotional stability refers to an individual's ability to manage and express their emotions in a healthy, constructive and appropriate way, even when faced with stressful or challenging situations (See: Emotional intelligence and Self-regulation and Stress management). It's about maintaining a sense of inner emotional balance and composure, rather than merely suppressing or denying their emotions (See also: Mindfulness). People who are very emotionally stable tend to engage in self-reflection regularly and to have self-awareness so they are better able to exercise self-control.
Emotional composure "refers to the ability to remain calm, collected, and in control of one's emotions, especially during stressful or challenging situations. It's not about suppressing emotions, but rather about managing them effectively and responding thoughtfully instead of impulsively."[6]
"Emotional stability, self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-control are interconnected aspects of emotional intelligence, personal development, and well-being. They involve understanding one's own emotions, regulating responses, and adapting to situations. Developing these skills can lead to improved relationships, better decision-making, and increased overall well-being."[7]
Individuals with emotional stability tend to be mentally tough, psychologically resilient, adaptable, and able to handle life's ups and downs with a more optimal, balanced, constructive, positive and realistic perspective (See: Mindset and Attitude and Positive thinking and Peak performance and Flow state).[8]
Emotional conflict
See also: Emotional conflict
Emotional conflict occurs when a person experiences two (or more) opposing emotions/feelings at the same time, and those opposing feelings are pulling them in different directions.
Neuroticism
See also: Neuroticism
According to Medical News Today, Neuroticism is a long-term tendency to be in a negative (For example, anger, sadness, depression, self-doubt and jealousy[9]) or anxious emotional state. It is not a medical condition but a personality trait. People often confuse this with neurosis."[10]
Neuroticism is one of the Big Five personality traits.
