...they really ARE, though. Most "relatively minor" mental ill health (depression, anxiety, OCD, things like that) is rooted in identifiable trauma. That doesn't mean it's easy to address but it usually is the case. On top of that, many of the actual physiological mental health issues where there is an actual "brain problem" (e.g. schizophrenia) are often caused by external factors, like head injuries or substance abuse.
