Mental health disorders can be incredibly difficult to live with for both the individual struggling and their family. Your loved one may be withdrawn, hostile or just not themselves. Their work and relationships may suffer and the whole family feels the impact. Living with an untreated mental illness can produce a number of negative side effects that can impact an individual’s social, economic, and professional life.
Some of the most common mental health disorders include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Bipolar Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Schizophrenia
- Agoraphobia
