Mental illness can affect anyone, but certain factors can increase vulnerability. Individuals with a family history of mental health disorders, those who have experienced trauma or significant life stressors, and people with chronic health conditions are often at higher risk. Additionally, socio-economic factors, such as poverty and lack of access to healthcare, can also contribute to the likelihood of developing mental health issues. Lastly, certain personality traits or coping styles may predispose individuals to mental illness.

According to a 2008 study published in Acta Paediatrica active father figures have a key role to play in reducing behaviour problems in boys and psychological problems in young women.

No you can't. They can discriminate against any type of mental illness. You cannot also become a very good social worker because of you understanding of mental illness. Mental illness is still very stigmatized but there are many many people who suffer and many people who are highly functional in their jobs.
