Mental Health Misconceptions
Discover the Truth about the most Common Health Myths
Myth: Mental health problems are uncommon
Fact: "In 2001, the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source estimated that “1 in 4 people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives.”Some neurologists receive subspecialty training focusing on a particular area.
Myth: People with mental health problems are violent and unpredictable
Fact: "The vast majority of people with mental health problems are no more likely to be violent than anyone else. Most people with mental illness are not violent and only 3%–5% of violent acts can be attributed to individuals living with a serious mental illness."
Myth: Therapy and self-help are a waste of time. Why bother when you can just take a pill?
Fact: "Treatment for mental health problems varies depending on the individual and could include medication, therapy, or both. Many individuals work with a support system during the healing and recovery process."
Myth: Prevention doesn't work. It is impossible to prevent mental illnesses?
Fact:"Prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders focuses on addressing known risk factors such as exposure to trauma that can affect the chances that children, youth, and young adults will develop mental health problems.
Myth: Children don't experience mental health problems
Fact:"Even very young children may show early warning signs of mental health concerns. These mental health problems are often clinically diagnosable, and can be a product of the interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors.
Myth: There is no hope for people with mental health problems. Once a friend or family member develops mental health problems, he or she will never recover.
Fact:"Studies show that people with mental health problems get better and many recover completely. Recovery refers to the process in which people are able to live, work, learn, and participate fully in their communities.
