Members,
 
Stress causes mental illness.

Fact-This is only partially true. Stress may occasionally trigger an episode or cause symptoms such as anxiety or depression.  When symptoms persist or become more intense, there may exist a biological susceptibility. Many things can contribute to mental illness- the cause is not yet fully understood.
