Anxiety and depression are very difficult to overcome. Especially when you are constantly under stress. It causes negative thoughts, grandiose delusions, sleep disturbance, and hallucinations.
Mental illness is a mystery that has plagued society for centuries. The stigma of people who suffer from mental instability is one of the biggest problems that keep people from recovering.
I believe that if a person has a mental breakdown, they can recover if the proper treatment modalities are put in place. That is a tranquil environment that is stress free, the improvement of the situation that caused them f fight quite slim. Funding is not allocated to that type of rehabilitation. Instead it is allocated to public treatment facilities that push pills, and stabilization. Please don’t get it twisted. Stabilization is better than nothing, but it’s not rehabilitation. Stabilization is a temporary fix, when rehabilitation can have a long-term outcome.
People need a somewhat controlled environment to help them overcome mental instability. Treatment facilities are institutional settings that working class people are afraid to go to for help.
Why?
Because they fear being labeled, loosing their jobs, and missing work. It’s almost like I’m going in for help, but because I’m being honest and telling you that I’m not feeling well. I’m going to get Baker Acted, and have to stay in the facility and risk getting fired. People also hate to be judged. Fear of being judged is also a reason why people don’t get the help they need. Treatment facilities are just not setup for long term rehabilitation.
A lot of them have turned into shelters for the homeless, and places for addicts to go to when they are tired and ready to sleep and detox.
It really is time for our health experts to come up with a more effective treatment modality. They must also distinguish the difference between mental illness and mental instability. Are people mentally unstable due to a mental illness, which is harder to treat. Or are they mentally unstable due to stress or environmental related circumstances?
Just like when the government helps people overcome homelessness and housing instability, they give them financial assistance to help them pay their rent/mortgage/utilities/etc. People have to be allocated unemployment benefits, resources, and case management services to help them recover from anxiety and depression that’s caused by mental instability.
