In fact, according to the DSM-V, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealthamerica.net\/recognizing-warning-signs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">over 200 mental health disorders<\/a>. While that may sound discouraging, there is hope in combating any one of these. However, make no mistake about it: dealing with a mental illness, even a mild one, will be a process.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing that you should focus on is identifying what the underlying issue is. There are some signs and symptoms that could indicate that someone you care for is struggling with mental illness:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Being confused all the time<\/li>\n<li>Being irritable<\/li>\n<li>Being unable to follow a train of thought<\/li>\n<li>Highs and lows (being happy one minute and sad the next)<\/li>\n<li>Mania<\/li>\n<li>Being withdrawn from social circles<\/li>\n<li>Being angry all the time<\/li>\n<li>Hallucinations<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts of suicide<\/li>\n<li>Drug addiction<\/li>\n<li>Having a hard time coping with simple activities<\/li>\n<li>Feeling fear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A full list of signs and symptoms can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/mental-illness\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20374968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. If your loved ones are experiencing any of the above symptoms, talk to them about it. This might not mean that they\u2019re mentally ill &#8211; they could simply be sensitive or have unresolved issues. Whatever the case, opening an honest line of communication is key.<\/p><div class=\"4a90ee8f0cea4b4c96057cc051b7c66d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/marketing\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/12\/Medical-Tourism-Post-Ad-2.jpg\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Helping Manage a Mental Illness<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2019\/06\/Helping-Manage-a-Mental-Illness.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29830\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2019\/06\/Helping-Manage-a-Mental-Illness.jpg\" alt=\"Helping Manage a Mental Illness\" width=\"800\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/globalhealthcare\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2019\/06\/Helping-Manage-a-Mental-Illness.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/globalhealthcare\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2019\/06\/Helping-Manage-a-Mental-Illness-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/globalhealthcare\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2019\/06\/Helping-Manage-a-Mental-Illness-768x503.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve determined that your loved one is struggling with a mental illness, the best thing that you can do is get them professional help. Yes, self-care is critical as well, however, there should be no replacement to traditional therapy. That said, there are two main options available these days regarding seeking out the proper help:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traditional therapy <\/strong>has been used for hundreds, if not thousands of years, to help people manage symptoms of mental illness. Therapy will encourage your loved one to open up about their problem, and the therapist that they talk to will help them better understand their own problems so that they can learn to work through them. You can find licensed therapists near you online on industry leading resources like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Psychology Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Online therapy <\/strong>is another option that many people find more viable in the modern world. Unlike traditional counseling, online therapy can be accessed anywhere that you have an internet connection. This makes it appealing for people who are on the go or who otherwise might have a hard time accessing traditional therapy. More information about online therapy can be found on the E-counseling website.<\/p>\n<p>Either type of therapy can be a viable tool for helping your loved ones learn more about themselves so they can identify any mental health problems and begin to work through them. If you detect a mental health illness, you should encourage your loved ones to seek help.<\/p>\n<p>Article Submitted By Community Writer<\/p>\n<div class=\"4a90ee8f0cea4b4c96057cc051b7c66d\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you think that a loved one is struggling with a mental illness, it can be difficult to determine exactly what is going on.
