Are mental health and mental illnesses the same thing?
Mental health and mental illness are often used interchangeably, poor mental health and mental illness are not the same things. A person can experience poor mental health and not be diagnosed with a mental illness. Likewise, a person diagnosed with a mental illness can experience periods of physical, mental, and social-wellbeing.
True or False: There is only one cause of poor mental health/mental illnesses.
False! There is no single cause for mental illness. A number of factors can contribute to risk for mental illness, such as:
- Early adverse life experiences, such as trauma or a history of abuse.
