How do mental illnesses develop?!


Question:

How do mental illnesses develop?

I understand traumatic events or whatever significant events leading up to mental illness, but how do things like these cause a hormone imbalance, or depression? is it just as simple as the negative thoughts and mood causing development of hormones or elements on the channels in the brain, which things like antidepressants block, or is it more than that?


Answers:

Its like asking why do people get cancer..... Sometimes its environmental, sometimes its hereditary, and other times a combination of the two. I have Bipolar. Mine is mostly genetic.
