Causes of anxiety and depression? There is not a one-size fits all.

My view is that it can be due to trauma experienced during childhood. So many adults with mental health problems have been abused as children. It is during childhood that the emotions are forming, behaviours are being learn't and learning how to manage feelings. Or having not learnt as a child how to manage stress.

The fact is that one in four will have a mental health problem at some point in our lives. And for each person the causes and reasons will be different as will the treatment.

Thankfully the psychological approach ie. talking therapy seems to be the way forward. Psychology is taking over from psychiatry. Talking treatments work because with mental health we are talking about feelings and behaviours and the knowledge gained in being able to cope with that.
