Mental illness is when the body factory is having problems making, balancing or transporting neurotransmitters.&nbsp; Emotions, feelings and the ability to think clearly are all orchestrated as a result of a cocktail of neurotransmitters and the body’s ability to transmit information throughout the body to create physical sensations.<span style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-user-drag: none; overflow: visible; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit; display: inline; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: initial; text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);">&nbsp;Thyroid or gonadal hormone imbalances can cause imbalances in neurotransmitters and dysfunction of the system.Inadequate balance of bacteria in the microbiome causes the food to not break down effectively, therefore it leaves the body without providing the building blocks that the body needs to make nutrients.<span style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-user-drag: none; overflow: visible; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit; display: inline; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: initial; text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);">&nbsp;Circadian rhythms affects the balance of the gonadal hormones, sex hormones and a lot of other hormones and the immune system that affects when you want to sleep and when you want to be awake. If the circadian rhythm gets out of whack, you feel discomfort and probably have no idea what you are supposed to do.<span style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-user-drag: none; overflow: visible; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit; display: inline; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: initial; text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);">&nbsp;Immune system can make the body not function well when there’s inflammation in the body, it contributes to triggering the HPA axis, the threat response system, triggers stress hormones and suppresses relaxation hormones which impacts sleep. It may cause systemic inflammation, depression, anxiety and anger.Mental health problems come from a dysfunction in the body therefore adequate treatment must involve strengthening or optimizing the dysfunctioning of the body factory.<span style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-user-drag: none; overflow: visible; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit; display: inline; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: initial; text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);">&nbsp;People may experience mental illness when their brains are wired differently. Chronic stress contributes to alteration in the brain structure. Physical trauma like a traumatic brain injury, a concussion can cause the brain to rewire, a stroke can cause the brain to rewire and these can cause alterations in people's ability to adequately feel, manage, express their thoughts and emotions.Photo by <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://unsplash.com/@emilyunderworld?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText" alt="Emily Underworld">Emily Underworld</a>​
