These factors includes, economics hardship, critical life event and poor social support.

Explanation:

Poor mental health has large social and economic consequences both for the society and individuals. In Sweden, the survey was conducted through questionnaire and took random sampling of men and women aged 18-84 years in 2004. They investigated 42,448 people to find out relationship between socio-economic condition, life style and mental heath using multinomial logistic regression models.

The result suggested that about 40% of the women and 30% of men were moderately or extremely depressed. The best mental health was found at ages 65-74 years. So it prove that poor social support, economics hardship, critical life events etc were the strong factors related to mental health.
