are also quite depressed. A person suffering

person is completely responsible for his
actions.

appetite and may not eat well. However,
in chronic cases of depression, the
person may keep on eating the whole

types of depression commonly seen:
123

124. A SUZY PRESENTATION

Answers may include: behavior, thoughts and delusions
No single factor is known to cause a specific mental disorder, rather, multiple factors, including biological or genetic factors, psychosocial factors and environmental factors, are believed to interplay to produce the symptom constellations seen in the various mental disorders.
What do we know about the causes of mental illness?
Mental illness is a brain disorder.
The symptoms of mental illness are a result of abnormal brain functioning.
Mental illness is rarely if ever caused by stress alone.
It is not the consequence of poor parenting or bad behavior.
It is not the result of personal weakness or deficits in personality.
It is not the manifestation of malevolent spiritual intent.
Only in exceptional cases is it caused by nutritional factors.
It is not caused by poverty.
Mental illness arises as a consequence of a combination of genetic and environment factors that change the functioning of the brain and impact the functioning of the individual and the body.
