It is important to notice that social determinants such as poverty 
and associated conditions of unemployment, low educational level and 
discriminated/stigmatized groups are all strong markers for mental 
illness.  Mental illness and these social determinants are considered 
to interact in a negative cycle. Using poverty as an example, not 
only is the risk of mental illness among people who live in poverty 
higher, but so too is the likelihood that those living with mental 
illness will drift into or remain in poverty.  The same argument 
applies to discrimination, human rights abuse, violent victimization 
and social exclusion, which are far more likely to be experienced by 
people with mental health problems than those in the population as a whole.
