People may say that it is a personal problem but that’s not actually the case. It has an influence on the family, friends, job, and other things of the person who is suffering from a mental disorder. What kind of influence it has, depends on the illness.
We all have some mental wounds or scars made in life at some point and how to handle it varies from person to person. Being aware of mental illness is understanding that some people have really deep wounds. Medical bracelets may identify if the person is in danger and can alert the required team.
Being aware is important for many reasons:
- According to WHO (The World Health Organization), approximately 450 million people have mental or neurological disorders (dementia) making mental disorders one of the leading illnesses and disabilities.
- Mental illness symptoms must be identified as early as possible as untreated symptoms continue and worsen over time.
- Untreated mental illness disrupts interpersonal relationships, employment, and stable housing. It is a high-risk factor involving public nuisance issues such as the homeless population, domestic violence, substance abuse, and childhood behavioral problems.
Early mental illness diagnosis and treatment are essential to reduce the amount of damage and negative consequences an untreated mental illness can create over someone’s lifetime.
