Behavioral health conditions include mental illness and substance use disorders and affect a person’s thinking, feeling and mood and can change their ability to relate to others and function each day. Genetics, environment and lifestyle influence whether someone develops a condition, but a stressful job or home life make some people more susceptible, as do traumatic life events like being the victim of a crime.
