Emotional Conditions

Emotional Conditions

Mental health is a complex interplay of individual, familiar, community, and societal factors. While most people are resilient, those facing adversity, such as trauma, violence, disability, or inequality, are at a higher risk of experiencing mental health problems.

Traumatic events are distressing experiences that involve the threat or actual occurrence of death, serious injury, or sexual violence. Many adults have endured at least one traumatic event, and some have experienced multiple such events.

Certain individuals are more susceptible to the emotional and physical effects of stress. They may be more prone to developing psychosomatic disorders.

Psychosomatic disorders occur when mental stress or distress contributes to or exacerbates a physical condition and its symptoms. While researchers debate the existence of purely psychosomatic conditions, it's clear that mental factors can play a significant role in many physical illnesses. Our bodies are complex, and multiple factors often contribute to their health.
