Topic: Myth or Fact?

Members,

Myth: Once people develop mental illnesses, they will never recover.

Fact: Studies demonstrate that most people with mental illnesses do improve, and many recover completely. Recovery refers to the process in which people are able to live, work, learn, and participate fully in their communities. For some individuals, recovery is the ability to live a fulfilling and productive life. For others, it simply refers to the reduction or complete remission of symptoms. Science has shown that having hope plays an integral role in an individual’s recovery.

Topic: Myth or Fact?

Members,

Myth: Why bother with therapy and self-help when you can just take one of those pills seen on TV?

Fact: Treatment varies depending on the individual. Many people work with therapists, counselors, their peers, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, and social workers in their recovery process. Self-help strategies and community supports are also employed. Often these methods are combined with some of the most advanced medications available.

Hello, my name is llama

Hello Llama,

Welcome to our wonderful support community and thank you for sharing your story.

Being fearful of doctors and medical procedures is not uncommon. The fear of receiving an unwanted diagnosis is also understandable. However, if you can start to allow yourself to get regular check-ups you will feel more at ease about your health. If somehow something of concern is detected, the chances of successful treatment are better upon earlier detection........don't you agree?

Please continue to strive forward and lean on us for support.

"He's old; what do you expect?"

Fact: Healthy elderly people are not depressed and they are able to enjoy life fully. The reality is that depression can affect any age, from the very young to the very old and everyone in between.

Hello, My name is Senses....

Hi Sammy,

Welcome to our support community and thank you for sharing your experiences.

It is definitely a good idea to consult with your doctor about your medication especially since it does not seem to be helping you. You may also want to request that some blood work and neurological testing be done to determine why you are feeling dizzy and numb in the face.

Senses has provided wonderful insight and advice while making progress as well.

Do start working through the program here and browsing through the forums so that you can feel more encouraged and supported. Post often and let us know how you are doing.

Benefits of Mindfulness Training

You make a good point Senses.

However, this exercise is meant to be a meditative, relaxing activity which is not intended to be carried out "constantly throughout the day". Rather, taking the time at certain intervals to "be in the present" can be helpful for decreasing stress and anxiety.

Let's hear from other members..............

Topic: Myth or Fact?

Members,

Children misbehave or fail in school just to get attention.

Fact: Behaviour problems can be symptoms of emotional, behavioral, or mental disorders, rather than merely attention-seeking devices. With appropriate interventions that include understanding, attention, and mental health services, these children can succeed in school.
