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.
