Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'mental' (relating to the mind) + 'balance' (a state of equilibrium or stability) yields a stable or healthy state of mind. This straightforward noun–noun composition is cross‑linguistically common and follows ordinary semantic composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Mental balance uses a simple image: the mental part is the mind and balance is like standing steady on a beam or a scale. So when your thoughts and feelings are even and steady, you have 'emotional stability and good judgment'.
