...The World Health Organization defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community”.World Health Organization (2005). Promoting Mental Health: Concepts, Emerging evidence, Practice: A report of the World Health Organization, Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse in collaboration with the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation and the University of Melbourne. World Health Organization. Geneva. It was previously stated that there was no one "official" definition of mental health. Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how "mental health" is defined.

Have you tried Linehan's "Skills Training for Borderline Personality Disorder" workbook? I used exercises from this during graduate training in an outpatient mental health clinic. A couple of years ago, I was at a conference on community mental health that talked about client/consumer-based programs that were pretty much primarily run by the clients themselves. I don't know the severity level of your population, but I would try to get the clients to support each other as best I could, and research client- or consumer-based programs and their efficacy levels. I thinking that that clients will respond to encouragement from their peers more than they will respond to encouragement from their therapists. In regards to delusions and hallucinations, based on my experience, the best way to intervene is to 1) enter their reality and never invalidate it 2) empathize with the feeling 3) based on their past history, try to interpret accordingly and 4) if you confront them, confront them on the effects of their thinking - not that their thinking is wrong - e.g. how is their thinking making their life better or worse, and is there a better, safer, more workable alternative? Good luck. |

What mental health services Hi, I'm conducting an informal
survey for mental health
services, my question is, if
you were to receive counseling
or assistance from a mental
health services provider, what
would you want? For example if
you are depressed, what kind
of attention/care would you
hope to get? I appreciate your
time. Thanks!

I am already on medication for both BiPolar and anxiety, so I suppose that talk therapy about the causes of my episodes would be helpful, too. |

What are good and bad things I need to know some good and
bad things for your mental
health. I have to show
examples of good things for
your mental health. But then
also what is bad for your
mental health. I need things
that are easy to draw.
If anyone can help me, that
would be great.
Thank you.

I have recurrent depression along with other health problems. I have recently been diagnosed with recurrent depression. I'am on my 4th antidepressant in 7 years. It has been helping. I also take an antipsychotic medication to help my mood. I feel scared at times that it may not work in time, however I know there are new meds coming out and research done on mental health all the time. So, I try to think positive that if this doesn't work I will try something different. I also think low stress helps. I have been under much stress in the last 3 years. I lost my father who I helped take care of and who I loved dearly. I also lost my brother suddenly at age 48. He was my best friend. My mother is very comforting to me. My husband is finally excepting my diagnosis. My doctors and therapist are excellant. I think if I take the load off myself and let others help me has been beneficial. I believe god wants me here for a reason and I need to stay until he calls for me. I have a son who has mental disorders too. I would not want to leave him behind. I didnot have these feelings before. I wanted to be with my brother. He always told me think of your son and family. Somedays are still hard. I get a little depressed or I don't feel well. On those days I try to not expect so much from myself. I have faith that I will trust in a higher power. I hope this helps.
I'm a woman in my early 40's I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar a little over two years ago. I have attempted suicide twice. I'm so very sceared that i will never get better. I have been on lots of different med's and i guess my question is will ever get to where I'm not depressed aleast for a couple of days straight. Is there any hope for me.I am seeing a tharapist also.
