contribute to overall health and wellness, including mental illnessrecovery.Here are some important facts about mental illness and recovery:Mental illnesses are biologically based brain disorders. They cannotbe overcome through "will power" and are not related to a person's"character" or intelligence.Mental disorders fall along a continuum of severity. Even thoughmental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burdenof illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion — about 6percent, or 1 in 17 Americans — who suffer from a serious mentalillness. It is estimated that mental illness affects 1 in 5 families inAmerica.The World Health Organization has reported that four of the 10leading causes of disability in the US and other developed countriesare mental disorders. By 2020, Major Depressive illness will be theleading cause of disability in the world for women and children.Mental illnesses usually strike individuals in the prime of their lives,often during adolescence and young adulthood. All ages aresusceptible, but the young and the old are especially vulnerable.Without treatment the consequences of mental illness for theindividual and society are staggering: unnecessary disability,unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, inappropriateincarceration, suicide and wasted lives; The economic cost ofuntreated mental illness is more than 100 billion dollars each year inthe United States.The best treatments for serious mental illnesses today are highlyeffective; between 70 and 90 percent of individuals have significantreduction of symptoms and improved quality of life with acombination of pharmacological and psychosocial treatments andsupports.With appropriate effective medication and a wide range of servicestailored to their needs, most people who live with serious mentalillnesses can significantly reduce the impact of their illness and find asatisfying measure of achievement and independence. A key conceptis to develop expertise in developing strategies to manage the illnessprocess.Early identification and treatment is of vital importance; By ensuringaccess to the treatment and recovery supports that are proveneffective, recovery is accelerated and the further harm related to thecourse of illness is minimized.Stigma erodes confidence that mental disorders are real, treatablehealth conditions. We have allowed stigma and a now unwarrantedsense of hopelessness to erect attitudinal, structural and financialbarriers to effective treatment and recovery. It is time to take thesebarriers down.Campus ResourcesClinical Psychology Center1444 Mansfield AvenueMissoula, MT ate clinical facilities.aspCounseling & Psychological Services (CAPS)12
