Mental Disorder
Mental health experts see abnormal thought,
feelings, or behaviors as symptoms of mental
disorders. A mental disorder is an illness that
affects the mind and reduces a persons ability
to function, to adjust to change, or to get
along with others. Physical factors, heredity,
early experiences, and recent experiences can
cause mental disorders. Anxiety is fear caused
by a source that you cannot identify or a source
that is not as much of a threat as you think. It
s normal to experience anxiety now and then.
When the anxiety persists for a long time and
interferes with daily living, this is a sign of
an anxiety disorder
5
Continued
Examples of these disorders are generalized
anxiety disorder, phobias, panic attacks,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic
stress disorder. The intense thoughts and
emotions of a generalized anxiety disorder do
not have a single source. Anxiety that is related
to a specific situation or object is a phobia.
Some symptoms a person might have during a panic
attack are rapid breathing, dizziness, and fear
of losing control. An unwanted thought or image
that takes control of the mind is an obsession.
An obsession may lead to a compulsion, an
unreasonable need to behave in a certain way to
prevent a feared out- come. People who survive
or witness a life-threatening event may develop
post-traumatic stress disorder.
6
Continued
Some teens and young adults have mood disorders
or schizophrenia. Others have impulse-control
disorders or personality disorders. A person
with mood disorder experiences extreme emotions
that make it difficult to function well in daily
life. With bipolar disorder, manic episodes
alternate with periods of deep depression.
Depression is an emotional state in which a
person feels extremely sad and hopeless.
Schizophrenia is one to the most serious mental
disorders. A person with an impulse-control
disorder cannot resist the impulse, or the
drive to act in a way that is harmful to
themselves or others. People with personality
disorders display rigid patterns of behavior that
make it difficult for them to get along with
others.

Eating Disorders
An eating disorder is a mental disorder that
reveals itself through abnormal behavior
related to food. Eating disorders are about more
than food. They are about emotions, thoughts,
and attitudes. A person with anorexia nervosa
doesnt eat enough food to maintain a healthy
body weight. The main symptoms is extreme weight
loss. A person with anorexia nervosa can starve
to death. In some cases, a lack of essential
minerals causes the heart to stop suddenly,
leasing to death. People with anorexia usually
deny that there is a problem. They need to be
encouraged to get help.
20
Continued
People who have bulimia go on uncontrolled eating
binges followed by purging, or removing, the
food form their bodies. They purge the food by
making themselves vomit or by using laxatives.
Bulimia may begin in connection with a diet, but
the person soon becomes unable to stop the cycle
of bingeing and purging. People who have bulimia
are often too ashamed of their behavior to seek
help. People with binge eating disorder regularly
have an uncontrollable need to eat large
amounts of food. They usually do not purge after
a binge. The main physical risk of binge eating
disorder are excess weight gain and unhealthy
dieting. Some people use binge eating to avoid
dealing with difficult emotions or stressful
situations.

Treating Mental Disorders
Sometimes people dont recognize the signs of a
mental disorder. Or they may have been told
that , with willpower alone, they can overcome
the problem. They might not know where to go for
help. The first step toward recovery is to
recognize the need for help. If you have a
mental disorder, you should see a mental health
professional for treatment. Psychotherapy, drug
therapy, and hospitalization are three methods
used to treat mental disorders. During
psychotherapy, people talk with therapist to
help understand and overcome their mental
disorders. Three types of psychotherapy are
insight therapy, cognitive and behavioral
therapy, and group therapy. Doctors may prescribe
drugs to help lessen the symptoms of a mental
disorder and allow people to function normally.
When people with mental disorders are in danger
of hurting themselves or others, they may have to
treated in a hospital.
49
Continued
Psychiatrists, clinical psychologist, social
workers, and mental health counselors are four
types of mental health professionals. A
psychiatrist is a doctor who can identify and
treat mental disorders. If a psychiatrist
suspects there is a physical cause for a
patients symptoms, the patient may see a
neurologist. A neurologist is a doctor who treats
physical disorders of the nervous system. A
neurologist may be asked asked to examine a
patient to find a physical cause for a mental
disorder. A clinical psychologist is trained to
identify and treat behavior that is not normal.
A psychologist may help a psychiatrist identify a
persons disorder. A psychiatric social worker
helps people with mental disorders and their
families accept and adjust to an illness. Mental
health counselors may focus on specific
problems or work with people with specific
groups of people.
