Support for Mental Illness is Available at Our Center in Rochester, MN
According to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)
A mental illness is a medical condition that disrupts a person's thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning. Just as diabetes is a pancreas disorder, mental illnesses are medical conditions that often result in a diminished capacity for coping with the ordinary demands of life.
Serious mental illnesses include major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and borderline personality disorder. The good news about mental illness is that recovery is possible.
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 severe mental illness can experience relief from their symptoms by actively participating in an individual treatment plan.
Societal Awareness
Unfortunately, due to a lack of awareness, stigma, and an abundance of misinformation, millions of people with this condition continue to suffer needlessly in their journey through life. With the advent of the internet, while more information is available, there is more confusion as to what mental illness represents, how to attain positive mental health, and what hope exists for both individuals and those who care about them.
As with any medical condition, a trained professional should handle accurate and helpful diagnosis and treatment. At EmPower CTC, our staff of licensed mental health professionals can answer your questions, conduct a thorough mental health evaluation, and can provide the help you need.
