They relapse or fall or are beckoned to their lowest level of functioning. So, in addition to your observation that people's mental health issues are constantly changing, I might submit that most everyone's mental health is 'worse' as their day wears on and they simply become tired.

The study showed that after 8 weeks of mindfulness meditation, actual structural changes have been observed using Fmri imaging techniques "A mindfulness meditation training program can trigger measurable changes in brain areas associated with awareness, empathy and sense of self within eight weeks, a new study has found."
