About Mental Illness
Mental illnesses can affect persons of any age, race, religion, or
income. Mental illnesses are not the result of personal weakness, lack
of character, or poor upbringing. Mental illnesses are treatable.
Most people diagnosed with a serious mental illness can experience
relief from their symptoms by actively participating in an individual
treatment plan.
In addition to medication treatment, psychosocial treatment such as
cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, peer support groups,
and other community services can also be components of a treatment
plan and that assist with recovery. The availability of transportation,
diet, exercise, sleep, friends, and meaningful paid or volunteer activities
contribute to overall health and wellness, including mental illness
recovery.
