Mental Health
Mental illnesses are medical conditions that disrupt a person's thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning. Mental illnesses often result in a diminished capacity for coping with the ordinary demands of life. Millions of Americans are affected by mental illness, yet remain either untreated or under-treated for their condition.
Serious mental illness include major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and borderline personality disorder. Mental illnesses are biologically-based brain disorders and cannot be overcome by willpower. Mental illnesses strike people during adolescence and young adulthood , but these disorders can affect persons of any age, race, religion, or income. These illnesses are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character, or poor upbringing. The good news about mental illness is that it is diagnosable and treatable and recovery is possible. Most people diagnosed with a serious mental illness can experience relief from their symptoms by actively participating in an individual treatment plan.
The Helen Ross McNabb Center's adult and children and youth programs provide comprehensive outpatient treatment and support services for individuals who are experiencing severe and persistent mental illness, stress-related problems and organic brain disorders.
