Mental Health
Mental health is a state of well-being in which
an individual realizes his or her own abilities,
can cope with the normal stresses of life, can
work productively and is able to make a
contribution to his or her community.
More than the absence of mental disorders or
disabilities.

• The word "mania/manic" refers to when a person
  feels overly excited confident. These feelings
  can quickly turn to confusion, irritability,
  anger, and even rage.
• The word "depression" means when a person feels
  very sad or depressed. The symptoms of mania and
  depression are similar. Sometimes people with
  bipolar depression are diagnosed as having major
  depression by mistake.
• People with unmanaged bipolar cycle between manic
  and depression... how quickly they cycle
  depends on the individual and life circumstances.

17
When/How does it start?

• Fifty-nine percent of adults diagnosed with
  bipolar said they had symptoms of their illness
  during or before adolescence. Half of those
  adults had bipolar illness for the first time
  before they turned 17.
• Puberty is a time of high risk for bipolar
  disorder to develop in people that have a genetic
  risk. Twenty percent reported their disease
  happened between the ages of 10 and 14. Ten
  percent reported having it for the first time
  between ages 5 and 9.
• Bipolar has a tendency to be based on brain
  chemistry and influenced by hormone levels.
  Visiting a doctor who can put you in touch with
  the care you need is highly recommended.

Causes

• Schizophrenia is a mystery, a puzzle with missing
  pieces.
• This complex biochemical brain disorder affects a
  persons ability to determine what is reality and
  what is not.
• People with schizophrenia are affected by
  delusions (fixed false beliefs that can be
  terrifying to the person experiencing them),
  hallucinations (sensory experiences, such as
  hearing voices talking about them when there is
  no one there), social withdrawal and disturbed
  thinking.
• Striking most often in the 16 to 30 year age
  group, affecting an estimated one person in a
  hundred.

21
Who gets it?

• Schizophrenia affects men and women equally. It
  occurs at similar rates in all ethnic groups
  around the world.
• Striking most often in the 16 to 30 year age
  group. Most of the time, people do not get
  schizophrenia after age 45.
• The first signs can include a change of friends,
  a drop in grades, sleep problems, and
  irritabilitybehaviors that are common among
  teens. A combination of factors can predict
  schizophrenia in up to 80 percent of youth who
  are at high risk of developing the illness. These
  factors include isolating oneself and withdrawing
  from others, an increase in unusual thoughts and
  suspicions, and a family history of psychosis.

22
Symptoms

• Positive symptoms - Positive symptoms are
  psychotic behaviors not seen in healthy people.
  People with positive symptoms often "lose touch"
  with reality. These symptoms can come and go.
  Sometimes they are severe and at other times
  hardly noticeable, depending on whether the
  individual is receiving treatment. They include
  the following
• Hallucinations are things a person sees,
  hears, smells, or feels that no
• one else can see, hear, smell, or feel.
• Delusions are false beliefs that are not
  part of the person's culture and do
• not change.
• Thought disorders are unusual or
  dysfunctional ways of thinking.
• Movement disorders may appear as agitated
  body movements.
• Negative symptoms - Negative symptoms are
  associated with disruptions to normal emotions
  and behaviors. These symptoms are harder to
  recognize as part of the disorder and can be
  mistaken for depression or other conditions.
• Cognitive symptoms - Cognitive symptoms are
  subtle. Like negative symptoms, cognitive
  symptoms may be difficult to recognize as part of
  the disorder. Often, they are detected only when
  other tests are performed.

• Some people hurt themselves on purpose to help
  themselves deal with bad feelings or thoughts.
  This is called self-harm.
• People who self-harm dont do it to end their
  life. Instead, self-harm may be the best way they
  know to survive.

30
How?

• The most common ways to self-harm are cutting or
  burning the skin, scratching that breaks the
  skin, hitting to the point of bruising or
  breaking bones, biting or falling, and hair
  pulling.

  depression
• To cope with grief, loss, violence or chronic
  illness

  failure, anger or hatred toward themselves
• To make their emotional pain feel like physical
  pain
• To  feel real, feel anything or to cope with
  feeling numb
• To regain control, or establish control
• To just feel better

32
Warning Signs

• Someone who self-harms may try to cover up their
  injuries because theyre ashamed. While people
  may hurt themselves in different ways, here are a
  few warning signs
• They often have  wounds like cuts, burns or
  bruises that they cant explain
• They have many scars that they cant explain
• They often say that they have many accidents
• They cover their body, even during warm weather

Remember, someone who self-harms doesnt want to
die. But if you arent sure, its best to be safe
and get help right away.
