I'm unsure if this is SOP, but it smells like it. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:34, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Was this coined to rhyme with "dental hygiene"? I see that hygiene basically means health, but I don't usually associate it with mental health (which after all isn't really about cleanliness at all, but about conforming to social norms). My instincts say keep. I'm on board with Thomas Szasz so maybe I'm biased or whatever, not sure. Equinox 04:46, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Its meaning cannot be fully or clearly inferred from its parts, i.e. without clarification it could be very well be about cleaning your mind from sinful thoughts. Morgengave (talk) 09:00, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
