Mental illness and disorder are often used interchangeably to refer to conditions that affect a person's thinking, feeling, mood, and behavior. However, "mental illness" is a broad term encompassing a range of conditions, while "disorder" tends to imply a specific set of symptoms or problems that disrupt daily functioning.
Mental health care is needed for a wide range of diseases and conditions that affect mental health and well-being. Some common examples include: Depression Anxiety disorders Bipolar disorder Schizophrenia Eating disorders These are just a few examples of the many conditions for which mental health care may be needed. It's important to seek professional help if you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues.

Support them as best as you can. A mental disorder can be just as hard on loved ones as it can on the person with the disorder. Try to learn as much as you can about the disorder, as well as how to help them. You need to be able to help them without enabling them, meaning you can't let them sink into destructive behaviors or throw tantrums even if it makes them feel better, because it doesn't actually solve the problem. I've found that the worst thing someone can say to a person with a mental disorder is "suck it up", "be a man", "get over it", "just do it." People with mental disorders can't grasp these concepts no matter how obvious they are to others. Pep talks do me a lot of good, no matter how cheesy they are. Also, you need to help them or find help for them. These people cannot help themselves.
cutters who cut themselves just for attention usually DONT hide their scars. cutters who are TRUE cutters and have depression and anxiety problems will usually hide their scars because its not something there very proud of.
About one in every four adults in the US is diagnosed with a mental illness. Some may not be as serious as others however. Its approximately 26.2% total of the US population over age 18 to have any sort of mental illness. However for serious mental illness the number is drastically lower. It is about one in every seventeen adults or approximately 6%. Mental Disorders are also the leading cause of disability here in the US and also in Canada. In addition, about 45% of those with mental disorders also has meet a criteria for a second mental illness. For example, Depression and an Anxiety Disorder would be two different mental illnesses and be part of that 45%. Hope this answers your question. Please stay safe. -Patrick (Future Pharmaceutical tech)
tobacco, although weed can cause mental disease such as multiple personality disorder. I could sooner see weed causing paranoid schizophrenia than multiple personality disorder but that's just me.
I know my disorders. My psychologist has diagnosed me as having paranoid personality disorder, psychotic disorder not otherwise specified, and possibly schizotypal personality disorder. But the medications I take help control most of my symptoms. I'm not ashamed to admit my illness. Mental illness is a disease just as diabetes or heart disease is, and it can be treated.
