That middle part of how much stress the individual can handle is key. Risk factors vs protective factors. In my experience, patients tend to have a very low capacity to handle stress and that can be both a cause (or a part of) and effect of their mental health condition. I also like how the chart just includes all stress, not just stress due to traumatic events.
