Mental illness is a condition that can affect the way you think, feel and behave and can also effect that persons way to function on a daily basis, and everyone reacts differently to their mental illness even people with the same diagnosis. They affect around 1 in 4 people in Britain, and range from well known mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, to more uncommon problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. A mental health problem can feel just as bad, or worse as any other physical illness only you cannot see it.
A mental health condition isn’t always the result of one life event. Research suggests that multiple, interlinking causes are more likely to effect the person more compared to one life event. Genetics, environment and lifestyle also influence whether someone develops a mental health condition, as well as a stressful job or home life makes some people more vulnerable, as do traumatic life events like being the victim of a crime. Biochemical processes and circuits as well as basic brain structure may also play a role too.
