Can Anyone Really Develop Mental Illness?

[Raidergal2022]

Do you think that anyone can develop acute anxiety or depression, enough that they require time off work/struggle for a year?

Or do you think that some people, are just not prone to mental illness and that they just wouldn’t reach this point despite their environmental factors?

Reason I ask -I overheard a conversation at work. Two collegues were talking about someone they knew who works in the mental health field and developed depression. They were saying that they think the reason people tend to work in that field is often through personal experience/being prone to mental illness themselves. Eitherway the way they were discussing it made it seem as though they were invincible, like they would never develop mental illness.
