Morphology
The meaning 'a state of a person's mental or emotional health' is directly derivable from combining 'mental' (pertaining to the mind) with 'condition' (a state of health or disorder). This adjective+noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Mental condition paints a simple picture: mental means 'mind' and condition means 'state' or how something is. Imagine the mind as a room that can be calm or messy, so the phrase means a person's current mental or emotional state.
