Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'mental' (pertaining to the mind) with 'health' (state of well-being), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the phrase refers to psychological/emotional well-being. This adjective+noun composition is common across languages and not idiomatic or metaphorical, making it immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.
Etymology
Mental health comes from thinking of mental as the 'mind' and health as being 'well' like the body, so people began to say the mind can be 'well' or 'unwell'. That's why mental health today means how well a person's thoughts and feelings are.
