What is commonly known as Mental Illness is best defined as “a condition that affects a person's thinking, feeling, or mood. Such conditions may affect someone's ability to relate to others and function each day." National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Mental health disorders are not a sign of weakness, poor character, upbringing, or moral values. Research suggests there may be multiple linking causes. Biochemical processes of the brain, or neuropathway circuits and basic brain structure are thought to be the cause. Genetics, environment and lifestyle can also influence whether someone develops a mental health condition. A stressful job or home life can make some people more susceptible. Many people with mental health disorders have experienced traumatic events in their life.
