Mental Health Conditions
Mental illnesses are disorders, ranging from mild to
severe, that affect a person’s thinking, mood, and/or
behavior. According to the National Institute of
Mental Health, nearly one-in-five adults live with a
mental illness. Many factors contribute to mental
health conditions, including: Biological factors, such
as genes or brain chemistry, life experiences, such
as trauma or abuse and family history of mental
health problems.
Tips for Living Well with a Mental Health Condition
Having a mental health condition can make it a
struggle to work, keep up with school, stick to a
regular schedule, have healthy relationships,
socialize, maintain hygiene, and more. However,
with early and consistent treatment—often a
combination of medication and psychotherapy—it is
possible to manage these conditions, overcome
challenges, and lead a meaningful, productive life.
Today, there are new tools, evidence-based
treatments, and social support systems that help
people feel better and pursue their goals. Some of
these tips, tools and strategies include:
• Stick to a treatment plan. Even if you feel better,
don’t stop going to therapy or taking medication
without a doctor’s guidance. Work with a doctor
to safely adjust doses or medication if needed to
continue a treatment plan.
• Keep your primary care physician updated.
Primary care physicians are an important part of
long-term management, even if you also see a
psychiatrist.
• Learn about the condition. Being educated can
help you stick to your treatment plan. Education
can also help your loved ones be more supportive
and compassionate.
• Practice good self-care. Control stress with
activities such as meditation or tai-chi; eat
healthy and exercise; and get enough sleep.
• Reach out to family and friends. Maintaining
relationships with others is important. In times of
crisis or rough spells, reach out to them for
support and help.
• Develop coping skills. Establishing healthy coping
skills can help people deal with stress easier.
• Get enough sleep. Good sleep improves your brain performance, mood and overall health. Consistently poor sleep is associated with anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.
