genetic factors + environmental factors + personality and coping Genetic factors can be seen from family history of mental health conditions, although genes also interact with environment so it's not a standalone determinant. Environment factors refer to the actual circumstances, how challenging it is, eg. preterm baby needing more care, or baby having sleep difficulties, feeding difficulties, other family problems, etc. Personality such as perfectionistic, inflexible, easily anxious. Lack of coping skills, not knowing how to cope with stress and other emotions.
