Mental Health Problems

Mental illness can affect people of all ages and walks of life and can be triggered by psychological, social, environmental and /or genetic factors.

In most cases it is not a single factor but often a series of events that occur that can trigger a mental illness. It can affect relationships, work and quality of life.

Unfortunately there is still a stigma attached to mental illness and therefore it can remain undiagnosed. No one is expected to overcome mental illness without support and asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

Mental illness can be classified into different categories and diagnoses. A doctor will often make a diagnosis and will access what treatment is needed and predict what is likely to happen.
