Lead

The lead of this article provides a perfect overview of what the entire article will further detail. Information listed in the lead ties into every other heading under this article, which is what a reader perspective would appreciate. I do not think it is over detailed or under detailed, and the sources are clearly stated.

Content/Sources

The content of this article covers a wide variety of causes, which is exactly what you would want to see. There are dozens of variables that can affect the causation of mental disorders, and this article goes over several different types that are psychological and physiological. I also greatly appreciate how there is a list of theories first before diving into the actual studied causes of mental disorders. There seems to be some content that may have come from not the most reliable source, and several sources seem to be outdated (before 2010). This is mostly in the Biological Factors section, so perhaps there is not much new research on physiological systems and how they affect individuals. Either way, some of the content could be updated.

Tone & Balance

I feel as though the tone of this article is neutral. There are several references to studies conducted by researchers and I believe the author of this article stayed away from words or phrases that would sway a reader into perhaps thinking with bias. This article covers touchy subjects for some individuals, such as divorce, and I do think the tone and voice of this article is neutral as it does not attempt to make the reader disagree or agree with anything stated. They did an excellent job stating facts.

Organization

The way this article is organized flows very well. As a reader, the order of this article completely made sense. It felt as if it builds upon all the previous information, which is very helpful and it makes sense as a reader. I cannot provide a helpful suggestion on how to better organize this information.

Images & Media

There is only one picture included in this article, which is fine, but perhaps more charts or graphs displaying information on either psychological or physiological affects could be helpful for readers. I have not done research on this topic so it is hard for me to say where images should be placed.
