Mental illness: what is it?

Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders
that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness
include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and
addictive behaviors.
Many people have mental health concerns from time to time. But a mental
health concern becomes a mental illness when ongoing signs and symptoms
cause frequent stress and affect your ability to function. A mental illness can
make you miserable and can cause problems in your daily life, such as at
work or in relationships. In most cases, mental illness symptoms can be
managed with a combination of medications and counseling (psychotherapy).
(quoted from mayoclinic.org )
So in essence, there is no need to stigmatize people sufferning from mental illness. It is not a crime or a mistake. Just like physical ailments, anyone can suffer mental illness and still overcome it and achieve their dreams and goals. Do not feel bad about suffering from mental ailments, and do NOT lose hope in your life and capabilities. If amputees can become Olympic champions, mental illness sufferers can become geniuses in whatever fields they are good at.
Live life, live well.
This is Serenity!!
