Although the main reason causing mental disorders is not
known yet, different researches and studies are now helping to find out various
factors that might contribute to a person’s mental illness. It has been
revealed that mental disorders may get triggered by different biological,
environmental and psychological factors. In this article, we will be
highlighting what biological, environmental and psychological factors may give
rise to mental disorders.
Biological factors:
Heredity:
Sometimes your family has a history in a certain kind of
mental illness. A person may experience a mental disorder just because someone
in his family has experienced the same disorder is the past. Since the illness
is passed on through genes, it is not possible to escape.
Poor diet:
A lot of times patients end up under bad mental conditions
because they are not taking good care of their diet. People who consume
unhealthy food or do not take their meals properly are more prone to mental
disorders.
Substance abuse:
Some people also experience mental disorders because they
have been involved in substance abuse (drugs) for a long time.
Infections:
Some infections might also result in mental disorders.
Environmental factors:
Divorce:
Divorce can be a traumatic period for anyone; leaving a bad
impact on the mind and contributing to a person’s mental disorder. Many times
people end up in an obnoxious and unpleasant state of mind after they
experience divorce.
Death of a loved one:
Another factor causing to a person’s mental disorder is the
death of a closed one. No one among us would ever want to lose people we love
and when we do, we feel devastated. We feel as if we have lost a part of
ourselves by losing that person. Such feelings are so strong that they might
leave a bad impact on the mental health of a person.
Psychological factor:
Serious psychological trauma:
There are a great number of people around us who have faced
some severe kinds of mental traumas in the form of physical, mental or sexual
abuse. Such people are more likely to develop a mental disorder.
A big loss in life:
Sometimes big losses in life leave people so broken and they
find it really hard to fight back tough circumstances.
