yourself worrying, take a minute to examine the things you have control over. You can't
prevent a storm from coming but you can prepare for it. You can't control how someone
else behaves, but you can control how you react. Recognize that sometimes, all you can
control is your effort and your attitude. When you put your energy into the things you can
control, you'll be much more effective.

and focus on what i can control.

Question: What does it mean to have a mental illness?
Réponses:
- Mental illnesses are health conditions that disrupt a person's thoughts, emotions,
relationships, and daily functioning. They are associated with distress and diminished
capacity to engage in the ordinary activities of daily life. Mental illnesses fall along a
continuum of severity: some are fairly mild and only interfere with some aspects of life,
such as certain phobias. On the other end of the spectrum lie serious mental illnesses, which
result in major functional impairment and interference with daily life. These include such
disorders as major depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, and may require that
the person receives care in a hospital. It is important to know that mental illnesses are
medical conditions that have nothing to do with a person's character, intelligence, or
willpower. Just as diabetes is a disorder of the pancreas, mental illness is a medical
condition due to the brain's biology. Similarly to how one would treat diabetes with
medication and insulin, mental illness is treatable with a combination of medication and
social support. These treatments are highly effective, with 70-90 percent of individuals
receiving treatment experiencing a reduction in symptoms and an improved quality of life.
With the proper treatment, it is very possible for a person with mental illness to be
independent and successful.

Question: Who does mental illness affect?
Réponses:
- It is estimated that mental illness affects 1 in 5 adults in America, and that 1 in 24 adults
have a serious mental illness. Mental illness does not discriminate; it can affect anyone,
regardless of gender, age, income, social status, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or
background. Although mental illness can affect anyone, certain conditions may be more
common in different populations. For instance, eating disorders tend to occur more often in
females, while disorders such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is more prevalent
in children. Additionally, all ages are susceptible, but the young and the old are especially
vulnerable. Mental illnesses usually strike individuals in the prime of their lives, with 75
percent of mental health conditions developing by the age of 24. This makes identification
and treatment of mental disorders particularly difficult, because the normal personality and
behavioral changes of adolescence may mask symptoms of a mental health condition.
Parents and caretakers should be aware of this fact, and take notice of changes in their
childÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s mood, personality, personal habits, and social withdrawal. When these occur
in children under 18, they are referred to as serious emotional disturbances (SEDs).

Question: Can people with mental illness recover?
Réponses:
- When healing from mental illness, early identification and treatment are of vital
importance. Based on the nature of the illness, there are a range of effective treatments
available. For any type of treatment, it is essential that the person affected is proactive and
fully engaged in their own recovery process. Many people with mental illnesses who are
diagnosed and treated respond well, although some might experience a return of symptoms.
Even in such cases, with careful monitoring and management of the disorder, it is still quite
possible to live a fulfilled and productive life.

Question: What should I do if I know someone who appears to have the
symptoms of a mental disorder?
Réponses:
- Although Pandora cannot substitute for professional advice, we encourage those with
symptoms to talk to their friends and family members and seek the counsel of a mental
health professional. The sooner the mental health condition is identified and treated, the
sooner they can get on the path to recovery. If you know someone who is having problems,
don't assume that the issue will resolve itself. Let them know that you care about them, and
that there are treatment options available that will help them heal. Speak with a mental
health professional or counselor if you think your friend or family member is experiencing
the symptoms of a mental health condition. If the affected loved one knows that you support
them, they will be more likely to seek out help.

Question: How can I find a mental health professional for myself or my
child?
Réponses:
- Feeling comfortable with the professional you or your child is working with is critical to
the success of the treatment. Finding the professional who best fits your needs may require
research. Start by searching for providers in your area.

Question: What treatment options are available?
Réponses:
- Just as there are different types of medications for physical illness, different treatment
options are available for individuals with mental illness. Treatment works differently for
different people. It is important to find what works best for you or your child.

Question: If I become involved in treatment, what do I need to know?
Réponses:
- Since beginning treatment is a big step for individuals and families, it can be very
overwhelming. It is important to be as involved and engaged in the treatment process as
possible. Some questions you will need to have answered include:
What is known about the cause of this particular illness?
Are there other diagnoses where these symptoms are common?
Do you normally include a physical or neurological examination?
Are there any additional tests or exams that you would recommend at this point?
Would you advise an independent opinion from another psychiatrist at this point?
What program of treatment is the most helpful with this diagnosis?
Will this program involve services by other specialists? If so, who will be responsible for
coordinating these services?
What do you see as the family's role in this program of treatment?
How much access will the family have to the individuals who are providing the treatment?
What medications are generally used with this diagnosis?
How much experience do you have in treating individuals with this illness?
What can I do to help you in the treatment?

Question: What is the difference between mental health professionals?
Réponses:

services may be confusing. Each have various levels of education, training, and may have
different areas of expertise. Finding the professional who best fits your needs may require
some research.

myself?
Réponses:
- Feeling comfortable with the professional you or your child is working with is critical to

Question: Where else can I get help?
Réponses:

what best fits you. Often, the best place to start is by talking with someone you trust about
your concerns, such as a family member, friend, clergy, healthcare provider, or other
professionals. Having this social support is essential in healing from mental illness, and you
will be able to ask them for referrals or recommendations for trusted mental health
practitioners. Search for mental health resources in your area. Secondly, there are people
and places throughout the country that provide services to talk, to listen, and to help you on
your journey to recovery. Thirdly, many people find peer support a helpful tool that can aid
in their recovery. There are a variety of organizations that offer support groups for
consumers, their family members, and friends. Some support groups are peer led while
others may be led by a mental health professional.

Question: What should I know before starting a new medication?
Réponses:
- The best source of information regarding medications is the physician prescribing them.
He or she should be able to answer questions such as:
1. What is the medication supposed to do?
2. When should it begin to take effect, and how will I know when it is effective?
3. How is the medication taken and for how long? What food, drinks, other medicines, and
activities should be avoided while taking this medication?
4. What are the side effects and what should be done if they occur?
5. What do I do if a dose is missed?
6. Is there any written information available about this medication?
7. Are there other medications that might be appropriate?
8. If so, why do you prefer the one you have chosen?
9. How do you monitor medications and what symptoms indicate that they should be raised,

lowered, or changed?
10. All medications should be taken as directed. Most medications for mental illnesses do
not work when taken irregularly, and extra doses can cause severe, sometimes dangerous
side effects. Many psychiatric medications begin to have a beneficial effect only after they
have been taken for several weeks.

Question: Where can I go to find therapy?
Réponses:
- Different kinds of therapy are more effective based on the nature of the mental health

Complementary & Alternative Treatments, self-help plans, and peer support. Treatments
are very personal and should be discussed by the person with the mental health conditions
and his or her team.

professional.

Question: Can you prevent mental health problems?
Réponses:
- We can all suffer from mental health challenges, but developing our wellbeing, resilience,
and seeking help early can help prevent challenges becoming serious.

Question: How can I maintain social connections? What if I feel lonely?
Réponses:
- A lot of people are alone right now, but we don't have to be lonely. We're all in this
together. Think about the different ways to connect that are most meaningful for you. For
example, you might prefer a video chat over a phone call, or you might prefer to text
throughout the day rather than one set time for a video call. Then, work with your social
networks to make a plan. You might video chat with your close friends in the evening and
phone a family member once a week. Remember to be mindful of people who may not be
online. Check in by phone and ask how you can help. The quality of your social connections
matter. Mindlessly scrolling through social media and liking a few posts usually doesn't
build strong social connections. Make sure you focus on strategies that actually make you
feel included and connected. If your current strategies don't help you feel connected,
problem-solve to see if you can find a solution. Everyone feels lonely at times. Maybe you
recently moved to a new city, are changing your circle of friends, lost someone important in
your life, or lost your job and also lost important social connections with coworkers. Other
people may have physical connections to others but may feel like their emotional or social
needs aren't met. Measures like social distancing or self-isolation can make loneliness feel
worse no matter why you feel lonely now. Reach out to the connections you do have.

connections. These groups are a great way to share your skills and abilities or seek help and
support. Look for specialized support groups. Support groups are moving online, and there
are a lot of different support lines to call if you need to talk to someone.

Question: What's the difference between anxiety and stress?
Réponses:
- Stress and anxiety are often used interchangeably, and there is overlap between stress and
anxiety. Stress is related to the same fight, flight, or freeze response as anxiety, and the
physical sensations of anxiety and stress may be very similar. The cause of stress and
anxiety are usually different, however. Stress focuses on mainly external pressures on us
that we're finding hard to cope with. When we are stressed, we usually know what we're
stressed about, and the symptoms of stress typically disappear after the stressful situation
is over. Anxiety, on the other hand, isn't always as easy to figure out. Anxiety focuses on
worries or fears about things that could threaten us, as well as anxiety about the anxiety
itself. Stress and anxiety are both part of being human, but both can be problems if they last
for a long time or have an impact on our well-being or daily life.

Question: What's the difference between sadness and depression?
Réponses:
- Sadness is a normal reaction to a loss, disappointment, problems, or other difficult

about sadness might be feeling low, feeling down, or feeling blue.A person may say they are
feeling depressed, but if it goes away on its own and doesn't impact life in a big way, it
probably isn't the illness of depression. Depression is a mental illness that affects your
mood, the way you understand yourself, and the way you understand and relate to things
around you. It can also go by different names, such as clinical depression, major depressive
disorder, or major depression. Depression can come up for no reason, and it lasts for a long
time. It's much more than sadness or low mood. People who experience depression may feel
worthless or hopeless. They may feel unreasonable guilty. Some people may experience
depression as anger or irritability. It may be hard to concentrate or make decisions. Most
people lose interest in things that they used to enjoy and may isolate themselves from
others. There are also physical signs of depression, such as problems with sleep, appetite
and energy and unexplainable aches or pains. Some may experience difficult thoughts about
death or ending their life (suicide). Depression lasts longer than two weeks, doesn't usually
go away on its own, and impacts your life. It's a real illness, and it is very treatable. It's
important to seek help if you're concerned about depression.
