important?
• There are many different kinds of mental illnesses. The
most serious include depression, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-
traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder and
personality disorder. Four of the ten leading causes of
disability in the U.S. and other developing countries are
also caused by mental disorders such as these (11
FAMH). There are other, more mild cases of mental
illnesses that should still be addressed, but these are
all very serious examples. These conditions are not to
be messed around with and another reason why
mental health awareness and action are so important.
