Chronic physical and mental health problems don't just appear out of nowhere. They are often the result of multiple contributing factors working together to generate illness and pain and prevent the body from healing. Chronic mental health problems are seldom just a mental phenomenon. The body affects how you feel emotionally and your thoughts and perceptions influence how your body feels.
