I believe that our mental health is shaped by a complex interplay of our inherent mental framework, our environmental interactions, and our past experiences. Each person is born with an intrinsic psychological structure, which is further molded by early relationships and environmental experiences. Our psyche constantly interacts with our surroundings, and early negative experiences can leave lasting impacts, manifesting as psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression, and influence our relationships, self-image, attachments, and overall approach to life.
