What causes Mental Health and their symptoms?

What causes Mental Health?


A broad spectrum of mental health illnesses that impact your mood, thoughts, and behaviour are collectively referred to as mental illness, often known as mental health disorders. Anxiety disorders, eating disorders, schizophrenia, depression, and addictive behaviours are a few examples of mental illnesses.

Many people occasionally experience mental health issues. But persistent symptoms that impair your ability to perform and cause frequent stress turn a mental health concern into a mental disorder.

A mental disease can lead to misery and interfere with day-to-day functioning, including relationships, job, and education. Most of the time, talk therapy (psychotherapy) combined with medication can treat symptoms. 

SYMPTOMS

                                                  

Depending on the condition, the environment, and other variables, mental illness symptoms can take many different forms. Emotions, ideas, and behaviours can all be impacted by mental disease symptoms.

1. Depressed or hopeless

2. Disorganised thoughts or a diminished capacity for focus

3. severe feelings of shame or excessive worries or fears

4. severe swings in mood from highs to lows

5. Elimination from social circles and pursuits

6. severe exhaustion, lack of energy, or issues slumbering

7. Delusions, paranoia, or disassociation from reality

8. incapacity to handle stress or day-to-day issues

9. Difficulty comprehending and connecting with people and circumstances

issues relating to drug or alcohol use

10. significant dietary modifications

11. excessive animosity, violence, or anger

12. Suicidal thoughts

Sometimes physical issues, such as headaches, backaches, stomachaches, or other inexplicable aches and pains, are signs of a mental health illness.

CAUSES

It is generally believed that a multitude of hereditary and environmental variables contribute to mental illnesses:

Attributes inherited. People with mental illnesses are more likely to have blood relations who also suffer from mental illnesses. A mental disease may be triggered by your circumstances or brought on by certain genes.

Exposure to the environment prior to birth. Mental disease has occasionally been associated to prenatal exposure to inflammatory disorders, chemicals, alcohol, narcotics, and environmental stressors.

Mental chemistry. Natural brain chemicals called neurotransmitters are responsible for sending messages from your brain and body to other areas. Depression and other emotional disorders result from changes in the function of nerve receptors and nerve systems caused by impairments in the brain networks involving these substances.
