Understanding 
Mental Health 
& Mental Illness
What is 
Mental Health?? 
Mental health refers to the maintenance of 
successful mental activity.
What is 
Mental Health?? 
Mental health refers to the maintenance of 
successful mental activity. 
This includes maintaining productive daily activities 
and maintaining fulfilling relationships with others. 
It also includes maintaining the abilities to 
adapt to change and to cope with stresses.
It is definitely NOT easy 
being a teenager! 
Sometimes it’s tough to avoid 
feeling stressed, and pressure 
can build up in many areas of 
life (socially, in school, at 
home, and while making big 
life decisions)
Worrying about these 
pressures is NORMAL. 
But feeling VERY sad, 
hopeless or worthless 
might be a sign of a 
mental health problem.
Mental illness can occur when the brain 
(or part of the brain) is not working 
well or is working in the wrong way.
When the brain is not working properly, 
one or more of its 6 functions will be disrupted 
Thinking 
Perception 
Emotion Signaling 
Behavior 
Physical
Symptoms can include 
Extreme emotional Sleep problems 
highs and lows 
Thinking difficulties 
or problems 
focusing attention
When these symptoms 
significantly disrupt a person’s life, 
we say that the person has a 
mental disorder 
or a mental illness.
So, what are the 
CAUSES 
of mental illness??
Well, the causes of mental illness are 
COMPLICATED!! 
+ → 
Genetics Environment 
Brain Disorder
What do we know about the 
causes of mental illness? 
 
The symptoms of mental 
illness are a result of 
abnormal brain functioning. 
Mental illness is a brain 
disorder. 
Mental illness is rarely if 
ever caused by stress alone
What do we know about the 
causes of mental illness? 
 
It is not the consequence of poor 
parenting or bad behavior. 
It is not the result of personal weakness 
or deficits in personality. 
It is not the manifestation of malevolent 
spiritual intent. 
Only in exceptional cases is it caused by 
nutritional factors. 
It is not caused by poverty.
Many mental illnesses begin 
during childhood and 
persist into adolescence. 
Some of these include: 
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity 
Disorder (ADHD) 
• Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) 
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD
BUT… some illnesses begin 
during adolescence. 
The illnesses that most often 
begin during adolescence 
include: 
• Major Depression (MD) 
• Schizophrenia 
• Bipolar Disorder (BD) 
• Panic disorder 
• Social Anxiety Disorder 
• Eating Disorders 
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder 
• Addictions
What do we know about 
people with mental 
illnesses? 
• Most people with mental disorders live 
productive and positive lives while receiving 
treatments for their mental illness. 
• Some people have severe and persistent 
mental disorders which respond poorly to 
current treatments (as in all other illnesses) 
• Mental illness does not respect any 
boundaries of race, class or geography. 
• The majority of people have a friend, 
acquaintance or family member who has or 
has had a mental disorder.
Mental health problems can be treated! 
If you feel VERY sad, stressed or worried, it might help 
to talk to someone about how you are feeling.
Do you ever… 
• Often feel very angry or very worried? 
• Do reckless things that could harm you or others? 
• Feel grief for a long time after a loss or a death? 
• Think your mind is controlled or out of control? 
• Use alcohol or drugs? 
• Exercise, diet and/or binge-eat obsessively? 
• Hurt other people or destroy property?

Editor's Notes

  1. No single factor is known to cause a specific mental disorder, rather, multiple factors, including biological or genetic factors, psychosocial factors and environmental factors, are believed to interplay to produce the symptom constellations seen in the various mental disorders. What do we know about the causes of mental illness? Mental illness is a brain disorder. The symptoms of mental illness are a result of abnormal brain functioning. Mental illness is rarely if ever caused by stress alone. It is not the consequence of poor parenting or bad behavior. It is not the result of personal weakness or deficits in personality. It is not the manifestation of malevolent spiritual intent. Only in exceptional cases is it caused by nutritional factors. It is not caused by poverty. Mental illness arises as a consequence of a combination of genetic and environment factors that change the functioning of the brain and impact the functioning of the individual and the body.
