Dear Andrew ...\n\nSome of the above answers are good.\n\nI think you may be getting bossed around all the time because you are inviting it to happen.\n\nYou are probably not aware of exactly how you do it, but it's possible that you are doing it.\n\nIf there is somebody you know and trust enough to ask about this privately, ask them about this.\n\nWe all "invite" things to happen in our lives, often without being aware of it.

Media and peoples reactions to something they do not know about. My mum has manic depression. She is completely normal, yet has "actively" had it four times in her life-just under severe pressure. Childbirth, my dad had cancer and her degree. She still takes tablets just in case but she is a completely normal person. Yet, she does not tell anyone she doesnt have to as a hell of a lot of people think she's "mental" and will become violent. Its like aids in small kids. So many people are scared to touch them be around others with aids because they do not know about the disease. People have no concept of mental illness, well a lot of people so the only information they get is from films or media. If more information was taught in schools or films more accurate it could cause people to react in a better way and so not so much stigma was associated with mental health problems

This could happen IF you had been either admitted into or were temporarily held at a mental hospital or a mental health respite/crisis treatment center and the community mental health center (CMHC) had a direct connection/agreement with the organization that also runs the CMHC.  I've had a client this happened to. Because she presented to the hospital for a bit, the medical information is already in their system which put her on a priority list for treatment because she'd recently been treated for a crisis. It was a helpful in for her to get services quickly. Something like that probably happened to you.

I work with people with various types and levels of mental illnesses and I think medication help reasonably normalize their living conditions, however, considering the long history of mental illness amongst us, and the advancement of our medical technology, I think we should have come up with a one stop gap medication that could help the condition without having to take over 15 different medications.

Just like any drug, it effects everyone different. Although they say that it is a downer, so you would be more susceptible to having mental disorders than the next who doesn't use.

There's plenty of things wrong with mental hospitals, too, you know.  They could come out worse than they went in!

It is so nice to know that mental illness is alive and breeding. I'm not sure of your source on this one but it is safe to say that you should believe the funny papers. Thanks for the laugh.

MAYBE it sounds interesting. Kind of a sad topic though.

Accepting the fact something is wrong is half the battle. Personally I think trust is another huge issue. Once trust is gone then a lot of people think they can fix the disorder by themselves and end up making it worse.

its because in society people assume that a mental illness is something that affects us emotionally which is not the case, its an actual chemical imbalance in your brain because the neurons are not flowing right. People need to be educated more on this and maybe the stigma will stop eh

There are no mental health restrictions for registering with myspace. It may be a good place for you to meet friends.

You can't "get rid" of a mental disorder.  You can maintain it with appropriate medications but it will never just go away, sorry to say.

I just wanted to comment to MrMiyagi that the asker equated alcoholics, drug addicts, and depression to mental illness. Not lack of spirituality

This could actually be an illness and they need psychological help.  I have had problems in the past with worrying and it was anxiety that needed treatment.  Stress can hurt a person physically.

Read the lastest issue of "Men's Health" concerning this topic.  It was interesting what they had to say, but long story short, it is beneficial.
