WISCONSIN UNITED
for MENTAL HEALTH

Aside from the groups of mental disorders, there are other mental health issues that warrant attention.  The following are some of these issues and more detail about these topics can be found on pages within this section (see menu above).

Traumatic experiences can influence whether or not someone develops a mental illness. 

Having a physical illness can lead to depression, depression can further complicate physical illnesses, and some mental illnesses commonly occur in people suffering from certain physical disorders. 

An overwhelming majority of people who complete suicide have struggled with depression. 

And sometimes people with a mental or physical illness need assistance.  These caregivers must be aware of how stress can affect their mental and physical help.
