Mental illness occurs when the brain is not working properly, disrupting thinking, emotion, behavior, or physical functioning. Symptoms include problems with sleep, mood, thinking, or attention. When symptoms significantly impair a person's life, they have a mental disorder. The causes of mental illness are complex and involve genetics and environment interacting to disrupt normal brain functioning. Mental illnesses can be treated, and most people with mental disorders live productive lives with treatment.

Mental health refers to maintaining productive daily activities and relationships, while adapting to change and coping with stress. Mental illness occurs when the brain is not functioning properly, disrupting one of its six functions. Teenagers often feel stressed and under pressure from social, school, home, and life decisions, which is normal, but feeling very sad, hopeless or worthless could indicate a mental health problem requiring treatment. The causes of mental illness are complex and result from abnormal brain functioning rather than poor parenting, stress alone, or personal weakness. Many mental illnesses begin and persist into adolescence, such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and generalized anxiety disorder.

Depression and the Elderly, How You Can Help

Fighting the Stigma of Mental Illness
I am quite proud of this video that I did for a mental health fair at DTCC today. Upon completion of the psych unit of my RN nursing degree, I have realized the need to educate the public about the prevalence and many aspects of mental illness. This video is about fighting the stigma (a mark of disgrace) associated with mental illness/dual diagnoses by educating the public. Knowledge is power! The presentation is set to Matchbox 20's "Unwell." They are one of my favorite bands and I felt that the song was fitting for this project. Thank you for watching, and know that just one person can truly make a difference in the lives of many that are touched by mental illness and/or substance abuse.
Feel free to comment, like, and share!
