Mental health problems often co-exist with other problems such as substance misuse, homelessness, poor physical health and learning disabilities. The precise nature and impact of these conditions varies significantly from individual to individual. They are also rarely static during a person's life, and can change, disappear and re-appear. Mental health problems can be seen as both a consequence and a cause of social exclusion. A range of risk factors influence the development of mental health problems. These include socio-economic disadvantage, neighbourhood violence and crime, unemployment, poor educational attainment, being a member of a minority group and being a lone parent or teenage mother
