Alternative Writing Assignment

Bolstad & Zinbarg (1997) hypothesized that exposure to stressful life events during critical

periods of childhood and adolescent development increases an individual’s susceptibility to

mental disorders. These disorders may not manifest until adulthood. But they have the

propensity to affect psychological function, interpersonal relationships, and their quality of life.

The link between poverty and stress has been well documented. Though there is some ongoing

debate regarding causation, it seems likely that the reasons are bidirectional. People living in

low income, poverty-ridden communities are more susceptible to experiencing poor mental

health. Yet this does not necessarily indicate that poverty actuates mental illness. However,

those who suffer from mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety are more likely

to experience poverty.
