Causes of mental health problems
It is normal for everyone to feel worried, sad, upset, or experience other difficult emotions from time-to-time, in response to different life events and situations.
For most people though, these feelings tend to be only temporary in nature, and are often resolved naturally without causing any long-term problems. However, for some individuals, these negative emotions can become worse over time, resulting in what can become a debilitating mental health condition.
An estimated 1 in 4 people in the UK experience a mental health problem each year, with 1 in 6 people experiencing one of the more common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression or stress.
