Link Between Stress And Mental Illness

The link between stress and mental illness is that stress can predict the mental illness that the person may acquire later on. For example, if the person has chronic stress because they have lost their job, they will more likely face an illness later on like depression or anxiety. Also if the person doesn’t have any social support while they are stressed from friends, money, relatives or psychological coping skills, it can also lead to a poor mental health for the person. The class, gender, and race of the person also play a role in knowing if they are going to suffer from a mental illness later on. In the case of class, if the person is in a low social class they will more likely be disadvantaged because they don’t have any social resources
