1. TYPES OF MENTAL
HEALTH DISORDERS
1
ANXIETY DISORDERS
Anxiety is something we all experience from time to time
in our lives, but when these feelings dominate everyday
life, an anxiety disorder may be to blame. Anxiety
disorders account for the most significant mental health
disorders in the United States, including OCD, panic
attacks, and phobias. More than 40 million adults are
estimated to have anxiety disorders.
2
BIPOLAR DISORDER
Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder that causes extreme
highs and lows in a person's mood, energy, and ability to
think clearly. Without treatment, it can worsen over time.
However, with a suitable treatment plan, including
medications, psychotherapy, a healthy lifestyle, and early
symptom recognition, many patients can live healthy
everyday lives.
3
DEPRESSION
Depression is a serious condition that affects a person's
mood, thinking, and behavior. It requires professional
treatment. If left untreated, it can have devastating
effects on the sufferer and their loved ones. However,
with early detection, diagnosis, therapy, medication,
psychotherapy, and healthy lifestyle choices, many
people can recover and improve.
4
DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS
Dissociative disorders (also known as dissociative
episodes) can be described as involuntary escapes from
reality. Disconnection of thoughts, identity,
consciousness, and memory are all examples of
dissociation. According to research, approximately 75% of
Americans experience one or more episodes of
depersonalization/derealization at some point. Around 2%
of those include chronic episodes.
5
SCHIZOPHRENIA
Schizophrenia affects the ability to think, control
emotions, make decisions, and relate to others.
Schizophrenia is a lifelong illness involving many complex
problems. While it is difficult to estimate the exact
prevalence of schizophrenia in the United States,
estimates range from 0.25% to 0.64% of American adults.
Schizophrenia is rare in children and adults younger than
12 and older than 40.
6
EATING DISORDERS
A preoccupation with food and weight that makes it
difficult to focus on other parts of your life may signify an
eating disorder. When left untreated, eating disorders can
control a person’s life and cause serious, even fatal
medical complications. Women are more likely to suffer
from eating disorders than men, but they can affect
people of any age or gender. Adolescence and early
adulthood are common times for symptoms to appear.
