There is hope of recovery for most all people with mental illnesses. Recovery involves being committed to your therapy sessions if you are in therapy, and to keep taking whatever psychiatric meds you are on, if any. Many people with mental illness may see their therapist for a few months, or stay on their meds for a few months, and once they begin to feel better they may feel they are over it and no longer in need of these things. This, however, is a mistake. Some people feel ashamed that they are mentally ill, so they try to deny it and just tough it out the best they can. But should you feel ashamed for being diabetic, or having cerebral palsy? These are diseases and no one should feel ashamed of their affliction, and in the same manner mental illness is a disease, in many cases with a physical cause, and no one should be ashamed that they are mentally ill. Face your illness, admit it, stay in therapy, and stay on your meds.
