erline personality disorders. These illnesses are not race based nor are they economically discriminate. They have nothing to do with one's intelligence and are based in brain and biologic disorders. Neural illness recovery doesn't occur when someone grits his or her teeth and wills it to occur. It takes the combined resources of the medical community, counseling, a loving family and community agencies to provide a continuous net of support to make mental illness recovery a possibility.
While most people are shielded from neural illness' widespread grip on the world's population, about six percent of Americans have some form of the aforementioned neural disorders and it is estimated that by 2020, major depressive illnesses will be the leading cause of disability in the world. Without treatment for these yet to be afflicted population numbers, things such as homelessness, suicide, unemployment, drug abuse and prison populations will increase exponentially around the world. Even now, it is estimated that the cost of untreated mental illness in the United States alone is over one hundred billion dollars a year. The good news is that mental illness recovery is possible for many afflicted with these devastating disorders when the resources are provided for them. One can think of recovery as being free of the illness as one might be free of cancer, but in most every case, 'recovery" is more about learning to live with the disorder.
Mental illness recovery is based on a number of factors that must take place in order for coping skills and self realization to take place. The number of components in recovery is not small in number and they are often things that those who are unafflicted with these disorders might take for granted. For example, the amount of sleep a person gets is a huge factor in mental illness recovery, and living in an environment that is noisy or disruptive certainly impinges on the healing process. Things such as a diet limited in everyday stimulants such as sugar and caffeine can be important as well as the availability of the patient to receive transportation to and from treatment. The easy access to transportation is something often taken for granted but not always present. And of course, supportive friends and family is a paramount component in getting better and experiencing some modicum of healing from neuro disorders. Sadly, many who suffer such neural disease are shunned by family and friends are few and far between.
For many who have major depressive mental disorders, the negative reaction of family and society to them early on brought a sense of despair to their lives. Feeling shunned and abandoned can produce a never ending sense of despondency and hopelessness so part of the recovery process has to be the placement of hope in the life of the patient. Medication is also a huge part of the ongoing therapy for mental illness recovery, and the drug therapy process is usually an ongoing experiential development that may take years to get right. When the patient and the doctor have a real partnership relationship in the ongoing quest to find a working medication protocol, the chances for mental illness recovery increase dramatically. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me and ye shall go and pray unto me and I will hearken unto you." (Jeremiah 29: 11, 12)
Mental health experts are quick to point out that in addition to medication and hope being important key components in mental disorder healing, support from family and friends is also paramount. In fact, there are no unimportant pieces to the mental illness recovery puzzle. The most successful cases of healing come from those persons who have the most help and love from family and friends. Oftentimes, while old friends may abandon a person with a mental disorder, new friends can be gained through peer group therapy where real understanding and even accountability is garnered. Since group therapy is almost always part of the healing process, the effect of these encounters cannot be minimized. In addition to hope, medication and support groups, turning to spiritual help also is a common theme among many who report remarkable healing for their mental disorder. Being able to trust God for everyday victories and accomplishments has been reported as being a very large factor in the recovery process.
