I think as time goes on, we will find more and more physiological sources for severe mental health problems, and that is a great step towards proper diagnosis and, hopefully, cure.

In fact we know that life circumstances matter in triggering these conditions, and the more honest/sensible psychiatrists use the umbrella term "biopsychosocial" which conveys the systemic and interpersonal nature of the problem.
