4. Substance Abuse: Drug and alcohol abuse can lead to mental health problems, as well as exacerbate existing mental health issues.
5. Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease or thyroid disorders, can contribute to the development of mental illness.
6. Developmental Factors: Childhood experiences, such as trauma or neglect, can have lasting effects on a person’s mental health and increase the risk of developing mental disorders later in life.
