Receiving Help and Treatment for Mental Illness

Content: Addiction is highly treatable and managed, so should be the first line of defense regarding risk of suicide. Treatment programs, either outpatient or inpatient, offer multiple therapies that work together to help the individual struggling with addiction change their disordered thought and behavior patterns that contributed to the addictive behaviors. Also, medication-assisted treatment, using a prescribed drug during early recovery to block cravings, can also be effective in sustaining recovery. Unipolar Disorder
Also known as major depressive disorder, this is like bipolar without the manic highs, and the resulting suicide rate is about 6.67 percent. Depression is not simply feeling sad in reaction to normal lifetime occurrences like loss, changes, or catastrophes. It is a prolonged sadness, which impairs every day function. It affects weight, appetite, sleep and energy and needs to be treated for recovery. Treatment for unipolar disorder includes medications which could be weaned when reaching a point of no longer exhibiting symptoms. Chronic recurrences of depression will need to be treated to be prevented and, like bipolar, talk therapy is suggested. Eating Disorders
Of all the mental illnesses, eating disorders have the highest mortality rate, though not the highest suicide rate.
