     Mental health problem is also known as a psychiatric disorder the brain works in mental health  and how problems can cause mental illness mental health is your ability to handle or cope with stress and enjoy daily life it includes the way you feel think act and relates to others scientists study how certain brain areas affect mental health, for example, the fear area of the brain called the amygdala helps you avoid harmful things and escape danger, in addition, the amygdala works with the prefrontal cortex to control your response to fear and stressful events the prefrontal cortex also helps you make decisions solve problems and recall memories the anterior cingulate cortex helps you focus on tasks and control emotions the hippocampus helps make and store new memories the working units of the brain are cells called neurons also known as brain cells neurons pass messages to each other through electrical impulses the impulses pass along a part of the neuron called the axon passes from one neuron to another at the end of the axon the impulse causes the neuron to release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters these chemicals messengers move across a tiny space called a synaptic gap and attach to another neuron this triggers the neuron to produce its own impulse in this way impulses spread across the brain problems with this process may result in brain disorders known as mental illnesses.

Factors OF  Mental illness

the factor of mental illnesses known however a number of factors may contribute to it some of these factors are:

 -A family history of mental illness can be passed from parent to child through severe emotional or stressful life events.

CHINESE-SALT( Glutamate)

-Glutamate(chines-salt)increases the chance that an impulse will form in other neurons in people with mental illnesses such as autism obsessive-compulsive disorder.

For example, serotonin is also called the happiness hormone, dopamine is a feel-good hormone, and oxytocin is the cuddle hormone.
