Let us discuss some Underlying Triggers of the Biological Basis of Mental Illness or disorders.

1. Diet - for example, a diet low in tryptophan an amino acid that helps the body to produce serotonin may contribute to low levels of Serotonin.

2. Medications like Antidepressants

3. Caffeine or Alcohol - Caffeine increases dopamine and alcohol decreases dopamine

4. Stressful Events such as trauma or everyday chronic stressors, like a high- pressure job may result to an over-reactive HPA Axis and trigger the release of cortisol and other stress hormones.

Understanding how our bodies and brain's work is important for self-care

The absence of a mental disorder or Illness does not signal 🚦 mental health. Mental health is assessed by the state of a person's psychological, emotional and social well-being.

So, while the absence of mental illness is certainly part of mental health, it's not the whole picture.

To understand what mental health encompasses, we must first, understand the concept of health.

The World Health Organisation in 1948 clearly stated that, an individual who is physically healthy is NOT considered healthy, except he is thriving Mentally and socially.

Total Health = Thriving Physically + Thriving Mentally + Thriving Socially.
