It's often both and for me personally it's definitely and specifically both.
After 7 years of being misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder my Psychiatrist decided that I don't have a mental illness per se but my mental health is particularly vulnerable to stress. He said although I don't have an identifiable mental illness I am much more vulnerable to stress-induced mental breakdowns than the average person.
So certainly in my case, it is totally based on things that I have to deal with - or rather, fail to deal with hence the breakdowns - but it's also due to proneness to emotional stress...specifically prone enough for it to induce breakdowns.
I am off meds nowadays though and doing better than ever yay!
