Do you think that much of mental illness can be attributed to a breakdown of ones support structure?

Issue
Like a breakdown of family ties, close and casual friendships, loss of workplace friendships, etc.?

Best Tip

i know it does... mental illness is the lonely disease so many loved ones turned their back on me because of my mental illness society and the communities think and treat you different when you disclose your illness your labeled and stereotyped you are called lazy welfare bum because you can not work if you do have a relapse everyone knows and act afraid of you the mentally ill will be more victims than the perpetrator's i have even had neighbors try to remove me from my home into the places where the mental need and should live ???? people tell you just to snap out of it and when you cant they belittle and just shun you when your down they stay away not realizing you cant ask for help or the support some think your a freak and it will rub off on them i would say yes to your question very much so one of my best assets is strength because iv done most of my life alone and afraid and i lived... sometimes in my life there was worse things than dieing im healthy now and the family and close friends still don't come around or really seem to care so i accept that and find i was their loss

Usually a combination of things but some people are very happy with no support structure. Not a cause but could be a trigger. See this site for natural things you can do to help it.

Most definitely. The presence of a good support system makes ALL the difference between recovery and extended illness. I am disabled, (post traumatic stress), and when my doctor made out the forms for the Social Security office, he pointed to my lack of a support system as the reason he "totaled" me instead of saying I'm temporarily disabled.
definately you have to have seen someone who has lost someone or something and has at the same time "lost" their minds some people are very dependant on things to the point to where they feel like life is over after that item has gone
That can be a part of it. There needs to be some biological component to this as well.
Mental health is much more complicated than this. The breakdown of the support structure is more prone to lead to depression rather than the other types of antisocial behavior.
Of course such breakdown of support system affects us, but what exactly do you mean by mental illness? It can give us depression, surely but not schisophrenia or ADD...
