What factors affect our mental health?!
Question: Organic disease for one, but if you are just referring to feeling "good" and mentally healthy then there are many things that affect it. Close relationships, success in career, diet, exercise, amount of sleep, money, physical health....tons of things.

I'm not sure you could have come up with a more broadly based question... unless your entire question was "what?"
There are tons of things that affect mental health. I would say most fall into 2 broad categories: several chemical and hormone levels within the body, and significant events in our lives. I'll have to think about this more before I can even formulate a more specific answer than that.
Great question though to help get to the heart of all the issues in this forum.
the question should read what doesn't?
everything affects our mental health
people, food, allergies, circumstances
Believe it or not, electromagnetic field exposure - so power line exposure and even cell phones:
