Abstract
Interpersonal communication processes are adversely affected by many mental health problems and in some cases may be risk factors for mental health problems. Four major interpersonal communication processes that play a role in mental health are highlighted: social skills deficits, communication deviance, expressed emotion, and lack of social support. The association between these interpersonal processes and schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse disorders, personality disorders, and loneliness are discussed.
