Our Causes
Traumatic Life Experiences
Trauma, such as physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, or witnessing violence, can have lasting effects on mental health. Traumatic experiences can lead to conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety disorders.
Environmental
Stressors
External factors like financial difficulties, work or academic pressure, relationship problems, housing instability, and societal stressors can significantly impact mental well-being. Chronic stressors can overwhelm an individual’s coping mechanisms and increase the risk of developing mental health issues.
Substance
Abuse
Substance abuse, including alcohol, drugs, and prescription medications, can exacerbate or contribute to mental health problems. Substance abuse can alter brain chemistry, impair judgment, and exacerbate underlying mental health conditions.
Childhood
Adversity
Adverse experiences during childhood, known as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), can have profound and long-lasting effects on mental health. ACEs include physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, household dysfunction, and parental substance abuse or mental illness, which can increase the likelihood of developing mental health disorders later in life.
Chronic Medical
Conditions
Chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and chronic pain can significantly impact mental health. The stress and challenges associated with managing a chronic illness, along with the physical effects on the brain and body, can contribute to conditions like depression and anxiety.
Stigma and Discrimination
Stigma, prejudice, and discrimination associated with mental illness can exacerbate symptoms and prevent individuals from seeking help. Fear of judgment or negative societal attitudes toward mental health can contribute to feelings of shame, isolation, and reluctance to seek treatment.
