Identify the true and false statements about physical and environmental contributors to mental health
Nitella [24]

Mental health is affected by physical factors such as disease or brain injury and by environmental factors such as stress or unemployment.

Mental health is one of the spheres of health. This comprises the mind related to psychological and emotional wellbeing.

This sphere can be affected by other factors or sphere including:

  • Environmental factors
  • Physical factors
  • Social factors

In the case of environmental factors this includes factors such as stress or unemployment, these affect mental health because they make a person more likely to develop certain conditions such as stress.

On the other hand, physical factors include factors such as disease or brain injury. The two factors have also been proven to make an individual more vulnerable to certain mental diseases.

Note: This question is incomplete because the statements are not given. Due to this, I answered it based on general knowledge.
