Abstract

Health behaviours and mental illness have been found to be strongly correlated, both across and within individuals. However, establishing the precise nature of this link, particularly in terms of causality and its direction, remains a challenge. Much of the relevant existing research follow an experimental design and focus on measuring how changes in health behaviours affect mental health.
