For years the importance of mental health has been underrepresented in our communities. But why shouldn’t our minds be just as important as our bodies? Many people struggle with the stigma<\/a> of having a mental disorder and suffer in silence. While attitudes surrounding mental health are shifting, we have a long way to go to raise awareness and make access to treatment readily available. Those looking for care in New York City<\/a> can access numerous facilities and treatment plans, as needed.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mental health disorders have a worse reputation than those related to physical health. While we’ve come a long way in addressing the importance of overall care, there are still misconceptions about mental disorders. You do not need to know the ins and outs of what everyone is going through, but it’s important to lend compassion to those around you. If you know someone in your life has a mental health disorder, you can extend the same grace and care to them that you would if they were suffering from a physical illness.\u00a0Any disorder necessitates the support of a community, family, friends, and qualified doctors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \u200bMental disorders affect your behavior, feelings, moods, thinking, and even physical health. A mental illness can impact any part of your life, including relationships, everyday function\/habits, career success, outlook on life, and values.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Symptoms range from mild to severe. They include<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Individuals contemplating suicide should call 911 or immediately visit an emergency room. In addition, help is available through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800- 273 \u2013 TALK (1-800-273-8255 or text 838255).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Illness can come on suddenly or gradually. Factors that contribute to a possible risk include\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n More than 50% of all Americans get diagnosed with some mental imbalance\/disorder during their lifetime. Recovery can be complex and has nothing to do with willpower, character, or lack of motivation.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It’s imperative to work with your team of doctors and provide a complete medical history. Your doctor may order a physical exam and lab tests to rule out or pinpoint any underlying medical conditions. In addition, your mental health provider will perform a mental health assessment and ask you about your mood, behavior patterns, feelings, and other symptoms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Mental health support in NYC includes government-subsidized treatment for eating disorders, alcohol\/drug recovery, behavior modification, trauma recovery, reintegration into society, career\/job support, and support for family members. The following is a list of treatment facilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEnding the Stigma<\/h2>\r\n
