\nMental health problems can have a wide range of causes. It's likely that for many people there is a complicated combination of factors \u2013 although different people may be more deeply affected by certain things than others.
\nFor example, the following factors could potentially result in a period of poor mental health:
\n- childhood abuse, trauma, or neglect
\n- social isolation or loneliness
\n- experiencing discrimination and stigma, including racism
\n- social disadvantage, poverty or debt
\n- bereavement (losing someone close to you)
\n- severe or long-term stress
\n- having a long-term physical health condition
\n- unemployment or losing your job
\n- homelessness or poor housing
\n- being a long-term carer for someone
\n- drug and alcohol misuse
\n- domestic violence, bullying or other abuse as an adult
\n- significant trauma as an adult, such as military combat, being involved in a serious incident in which you feared for your life, or being the victim of a violent crime
\n- physical causes \u2013 for example, a head injury or a neurological condition such as epilepsy can have an impact on your behavior and mood. (It's important to rule out potential physical causes before seeking further treatment for a mental health problem).
