The mental health community does not know for sure.Īlso, if you get this blogpost title, we are kindred souls.

Aint nothin but a heartache Tell me why Aint nothin but a mistake Tell me why I never want to hear you say I want it that way 'He doesnt wanna hear it because he is the one that wants it that way' Chrissy Teigen tweeted in 2018, puzzled about the lyrics meanings.

Whatever the real cause and reason for mental illness, I believe our failure to be healthy in all other areas of life (spiritual, financial, physical, relational, and intellectual) greatly exacerbates the illness. I believe mental illness is not a biological thing we can put our finger on. Maybe it’s the gut-brain connection and how we trash our bodies with our poor nutrition. Maybe it’s chronic stress leading to apoptosis in the hippocampus (that’s a mouthful). Maybe it’s the so-called chemical imbalance. (Also, FYI, I dislike the term ‘mental illness’ but we can talk about that another day.) There are of course many theories as to HOW mental illness comes about and WHY it occurs.
