Mental illnesses are serious medical illnesses. They cannot be
overcome through "will power" and are not related to a person's
"character" or intelligence. Mental illness falls along a continuum of
severity. Even though mental illness is widespread in the population, the
main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion-about 6 percent, or 1 in 17 Americans-who live with a serious mental
illness. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that One in fouradults-approximately 57.7 million Americans-experience a mental
health disorder in a given year .
The U.S. Surgeon General reports that 10 percent of children and
adolescents in the United States suffer from serious emotional and
mental disorders that cause significant functional impairment in their
day-to-day lives at home, in school and with peers.
The World Health Organization has reported that four of the 10 leading
causes of disability in the US and other developed countries are mental
disorders. By 2020, Major Depressive illness will be the leading cause of
disability in the world for women and children.

Mental illness usually strike individuals in the prime of their lives, often during
adolescence and young adulthood. All ages are susceptible, but the young
and the old are especially vulnerable.
Without treatment the consequences of mental illness for the individual and
society are staggering: unnecessary disability, unemployment, substance
abuse, homelessness, inappropriate incarceration, suicide and wasted lives;
The economic cost of untreated mental illness is more than 100 billion dollarseach year in the United States.
The best treatments for serious mental illnesses today are highly effective;between 70 and 90 percent of individuals have significant reduction of
symptoms and improved quality of life with a combination ofpharmacological and psychosocial treatments and supports.
With appropriate effective medication and a wide range of services
tailored to their needs, most people who live with serious mental illnesses
can significantly reduce the impact of their illness and find a satisfyingmeasure of achievement and independence. A key concept is to develop
expertise in developing strategies to manage the illness process.
Early identification and treatment is of vital importance; By ensuring access
to the treatment and recovery supports that are proven effective, recoveryis accelerated and the further harm related to the course of illness is
minimized.

What is over thinking?Hundreds of potential definitions exist.
Here are four examples:
1. Adding unnecessary complexity
2. Over-analysis and trapped in thought3. Worry and mulling over problems
instead of seeking solutions4. Seeing personal and World problems
as permanent or unsolvable
Probing questions:
Am I worrying about something I have no control over?
If you or someone else can change it change it if you cant, why worry
about it?What exactly is required to eradicate the problem?
Who can I ask to help solve it?
Where can I find a solution?
Why is this a problem can I change my thinking?
When is a solution likely can I chunk down and solve in parts?
How can I help solve it?

People experiencing these symptoms should seek medical help. A mental illness is like a
physical illness. If the person received
treatment for the illness at consent or before it gets worse, they may be able to recover
more quickly.
If you think something is wrong the sooner you get help or talk to someone the better.
One of the following or a combination can assist the person:
Medication can help with some forms of mental illness. It helps to control
symptoms.
Support and counselling is talking to someone to deal with problems, tohelp to cope with the illness and the symptoms.
Support Groups: meeting and being with other people with a mental
illness. Families getting together who have a member witha mental illness. These groups give people the chance to share
experiences, learn about mental illness and support each other.Rehabilitation: learning new ways of coping with daily living. It assists
people to make the most of their strengths and abilities.
The aim of this help is to restore respect, dignity and confidence to the
mentally ill person.
