Mental health disorders are diagnosable medical conditions that interfere with an individual’s feelings, moods, thinking patterns, relationships and the ability to function normally on a day-to-day basis. Many people who suffer from a mental health disorder find it challenging to cope with the ordinary demands and responsibilities of everyday life, such as work, school, accomplishing tasks or relating to others.

Despite the difficulties they cause, mental health disorders are relatively common. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), nearly 55 million Americans lived with a diagnosed mental illness as of 2021. These disorders affect adults, teens, and children alike, ranging from anxiety and depression to obsessive-compulsive or bipolar disorders.

Some people who have mental health disorders can manage their illness with medication, while others require long-term therapy or more intensive methods to help them in day-to-day life. The good news is that treatment is available for all types of mental health disorders. With the right treatment that meets your particular needs, recovery and long-term management is possible.
