Some of the common causes of mental health in the prison systems are depression, depressed mood, decreased interest, or pleasure in activities. Some inmates experience sexual abuse while there. They also experience violence, and over a prolonged period, they develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I look at the prison system like going to boot camp, but for a longer time. We aren't programmed in our daily lives to be told when to get up, go to bed, eat, go outside, etc. 

Sometimes, genetics, early childhood experiences, and culture play a part in mental health problems. As per Dick et al. (2003), family, twin, and adoption studies have proved to be a solid genetic to bipolar turmoil. Family studies have reliably shown that the hazard for bipolar confusion is raised among first-degree family members of bipolar probands. After talking to former inmates, they will tell you that they feel a sense of aloneness, and most of them wish to speak to a family member daily, but because it cost to communicate, some of them put a wall up, and try to maintain their bearing while there. There were several in the video which went to jail because of their actions related to their mental health. 

In our society, the first thing that medical professionals want to do is mask the problem with medication. In the school system, it seems that many of our children are assumed to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Little is known about the degree of seriousness of untreated mental issues, particularly in less-developed countries. Because of the high pervasiveness of moderate and subthreshold cases, the number of individuals who got treatment far surpasses the number of untreated genuine cases in each nation. Reallocation of treatment assets could considerably diminish the issue of neglected requirements for treating mental problems among actual cases. Auxiliary boundaries exist for this reallocation (Demyttenaere et al., 2004). 

Circumspect thought should be given to the benefit of handling some sensitive cases, particularly those in danger of advancing to more severe issues (Demyttenaere et al., 2004). How do we treat it? Sadly, the first step in treatment usually is medication. Get to the problem early. As parents, we must recognize when our children are crying out for help. Do not put our wants first all of the time.
