Mental health refers to your state of mind and how it affects your thoughts, feelings and behavior. Life events impact your mental health in positive or negative ways. Stress, fear or grief affect your mental health and can make you look at yourself and others differently. For example, if someone breaks into your house, fear can make you view strangers and even people you know suspiciously.

However, experiencing bad mental health doesn’t mean you have a mental illness. A mental illness is a condition that alters how you think, feel and behave. Professionals diagnose a mental illness based on its impact on your life. People with mental illnesses often experience problems fulfilling their personal, relationship and professional responsibilities.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the warning signs of mental illness include:

• Frequent, unpredictable and prolonged mood changes
• Shifts in eating, energy and sleeping patterns
• Inability to accomplish activities of daily living, e.g., bathing, grooming and dressing
• Lack of insight or control over your own thoughts and behavior
• Difficulty understanding and relating with others
• Physical symptoms such as headaches and stomach pain

While mental illnesses may share some warning signs, specific mental health disorders produce a wide range of symptoms. Below are some of the most common mental illnesses in the U.S. and their symptoms.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses in the U.S., affecting around 48 million people across the country. Conditions such as social anxiety, generalized anxiety, separation anxiety and phobias are included under the umbrella of anxiety disorders.
Symptoms of anxiety disorders include:

• Difficulty concentrating
• Muscle tension and fatigue
• Restlessness and hypervigilance
• Heart palpitations, sweating, and trembling
• Avoiding places or situations that could trigger an anxiety response

Personality disorders are mental health problems that affect a person’s view of society, impairing their ability to maintain healthy social relationships. The 10 disorders covered by the term affect 9.1% of Americans. Borderline personality disorder accounts for 1.4% or 3.5 million of those with a personality disorder.
There are three groups of personality disorders. Cluster A personality disorders include paranoid personality disorder, schizotypal disorder and schizoid personality disorder. These conditions cause behavioral eccentricities, with symptoms such as:

• Difficulty trusting people, leading to unfounded suspicions of being insulted, disrespected or betrayed
• Extreme avoidance of social or sexual relationships
• Inability to feel and express appropriate emotions
• Magical thinking or delusions

The four conditions in Cluster B personality disorders are antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. Symptoms include:

• Disregard for societal rules
• Lying and manipulating for personal gain
• Impulsive or explosive behaviors
• Unhealthy attachment patterns, from avoidance to deluded feelings of intimacy
• Inability to handle criticism
• False feelings of grandeur, causing attention-seeking behavior

Cluster C personality disorders cause excessive anxiety and fear, affecting how a person relates to others. The group encompasses three disorders: avoidant personality disorder, dependent personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

The symptoms of Cluster C personality disorders include:

• Desire to and distress at the inability to fully control people and situations
• Excessive emotional dependency and people-pleasing behaviors
• Fear of disapproval or ridicule, affecting reception to correction and criticism

Understanding the root cause of mental illnesses is key to sufficiently treating them. However, there isn’t a singular cause for mental illness. On the contrary, mental illnesses are the result of a combination of different factors, including:

Blood relatives, e.g., parents, can pass down genes that increase your chances of getting a mental illness.

Exposure to alcohol, drugs or toxins in the womb or as a child can contribute to mental illness.

Stress, physical abuse, sexual assault, loneliness or other forms of trauma contribute to mental illness.

Misusing alcohol and other drugs can raise your chances of experiencing a mental illness.

Behavioral Health Centers offers various inpatient programs for drug and mental health treatment. Depending on your needs, you can benefit from individual therapy or undergo family therapy and group counseling. Our extensive programs ensure you get the best professional help from certified counselors.

At Behavioral Health Centers, we use dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to treat conditions like borderline personality disorder and PTSD. This therapy method helps you learn to be present and mindful, resulting in better emotional regulation and behavior control when faced with distressing triggers.

In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), you and a professional therapist examine the thought patterns contributing to your mental health problems. The therapist provides counseling and support as you develop healthy thought patterns and coping mechanisms to combat future triggers for your mental illness.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is designed to help you deal with emotional distress caused by a traumatic event. We use EMDR to help you process the emotions and physical reactions aroused by traumatic memories. Our therapists have found EMDR useful in treating PTSD caused by sexual trauma or physical assault and in helping war veterans adjust to regular life.

Neurobehavioral therapy (NBT) is another “non-talk” therapy used to treat conditions such as eating disorders and substance use disorders. NBT helps people learn better ways to manage everyday stress, impulses and irritability.

Our experts at Behavioral Health Centers realize that at least 50% of people with mental health conditions deal with a substance abuse problem. Dual diagnosis refers to identifying and treating the mental illness co-occurring with your substance abuse disorder. Common co-occurring disorders include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and PTSD.

When you have a dual diagnosis, our mental health counselors use various forms of therapy to help you identify healthy coping mechanisms that can help you get through a future mental health crisis without turning to drugs.
