Statistics show that people with higher education have better health in general. I don't know the answer of your specific question though, anyone else having any ideas?

This can mean less stress, and therefore better health of course, reading about healthy living can also help...

I do study a lot so maybe that's why but I still don't think either are important for a stable mental condition.. I believe it has more to do with what you go through in life and how you deal with problems.

Knowing how to be successful and how to function on many levels is a benefit in today's world. I do know people that are not so lucky to have a good education and their reading and writing skills leave a lot to be desired, BUT! They are care free individuals and don't seem to let many things bother them. Problems roll right off their backs. The bad thing abou this is that they are the types that are not self supportive and they always need a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse to support them because they do not know how to function in the real world.
