MMI 101 : Myths and Misconceptions about mental Health

People with Mental Health Challenges can live a very normal and productive life. There is very little evidence and statistics to generalize that persons with mental illnesses are violent. It is important that facts are separated from misconceptions/myths with regards to mental health so as to help tackle the stigma attached to it. Persons with mental health challenges can be active, helpful, kind, and productive members in our community.

MMI101- The trilogic approach to mental health Disorders.

Today we look at the host and environmental factors.

The agent factors are aspects within our surroundings which we may encounter that increases one’s susceptibility to mental illnesses. They may include (head injury, birth injury, ma*****na, alcohol, co***ne). These act on the hosts (individual) triggering MH conditions. The agent factors are also known as triggering/precipitating factors.

Environmental factors include stresses we encounter through our interpersonal relationships with the environment. Examples are workload, losses, unemployment etc.
