When a person is vulnerable, they open themselves up to mental illnesses that most people don't even realize could occur. At the same time, vulnerability can allow people to strengthen psychosocial skills and self-determination. This can allow people to have a clear mind and a realization of reality giving them a decreased chance of ever inheriting a mental disorder. Now for people who are already experiencing a mental disorder, they have their own set of vulnerabilities and risk. These vulnerabilities can increase the likelihood of experiencing disability and premature mortality, social stigma and discrimination, social exclusion and impoverishment.
