Mental Health – What Is It And How To Help?
Biological Factors
The National Institute of Mental Health suggests that genetics and family history can increase the risk of mental health conditions. However, other factors contribute to their development too. Having genes linked with mental health disorders like depression or schizophrenia does not guarantee its development.
Similarly, people with no genetic predisposition can have mental health illnesses and issues too. Mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and stress may develop due to physical ailments like cancer, chronic pain, and diabetes.
