with the ordinary demands of llfe.
Serious mental illnesses include major depression, schizophrenia,
bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder,
post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and borderline personality disorder.
The good news about mental illness is that recovery is possible.
