Mental health problems such as anxiety and depression are on the rise, and not just because we’re well into the 21st century and we still don’t have flying cars piloted by dogs. There are other reasons too. Like the fact that we’re all living in a society that seems to have lost its marbles, or eking out an unnatural existence that frustrates our core instincts and most basic human needs. In fact, one could make a strong argument that if you’re not a bit out of step with the world, then you’re the one who’s truly insane.
Luckily, most of us manage to trudge along on this circus ride disguised as life without serious problems…most of the time. But as the insults, injuries and challenges start to stack up, mental health can quickly deteriorate.
The information herein will help you better understand the most common mental health disorders, including what they are, how they’re diagnosed, and what you can do to take back control of your mental health. It’s information that will come in handy if you or a loved one is ever diagnosed as loony (sorry, still too soon?), or are merely curious to learn more about these conditions.
