Mental Illness:
One fifth of Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder during any given year. The vast majority of individuals with mental disorders continue to function in their daily lives, although possibly impaired to a degree. Heredity, environment, life situations, and stress can be contributors to mental illness.
Quality treatment for mental illness takes a comprehensive approach. Treatment can include psychotherapy, medication, and tailored individualized treatment plans. Personal physicians and local hospitals can make referrals to a qualified mental health professional.
