Habits are a major cause of mental and emotional health problems.

These are lifestyle choices or behaviors that we engage regularly and they can have a significant impact on our biochemistry.

Our bodies and brains are intricately interconnected, and the choices we make regarding our habits influence our biochemical processes.

Some habits can disrupt the body’s chemistry, leading to mental and emotional health crises.

Here are five such habits that can quietly wreak havoc on your mental health.

1. Making Excuses For an Abusive Partner

Being in a relationship with an abusive partner, and excusing or rationalizing their behaviors, is one of the easiest way to escalate your risk of mental and emotional health problems.

Abuse, whether it is physical, emotional, or psychological, are detrimental and can have severe and long-lasting effects.
