support
A solid support system is invaluable for one's recovery from psychiatric illness and mental health issues.
The Bipolar Relationship
Having Bipolar disorder is hard enough on its own. Having Bipolar disorder and trying to maintain a healthy relationship can be pure hell. The mood swings, the long bouts of depression, the periods of mania. I have heard it described as never knowing each morning whether or not Tigger or Eeyore will be in charge for the day. No truer statement has ever been made.

My Mental Ill Health Was Rejected - How It Made Me Feel
Since the age of 8 years old I have suffered with two well known mental illnesses - C-PTSD and depression. Not only have I been suffering for 12 whole years now, I thought my behaviour was 'normal behaviour' until I turned 16 and was told that it wasn't normal at all.. which led to the diagnosis by 3 school counsellors, 1 college counsellors, 3 hospital counsellors, my GP and a psychiatrist.

The Value of Life from the Perspective of Mental Health...
The term "mentally unwell" appears to be taboo within the Asian community, however I am sure there are many other communities in which mental health is considered to be something that is unspoken of publicly. For a while now, my frustrations around the issue of mental health within the community have increased due to the fact that there is very little support to those who require it.

Meaningful Condolence Gifts for Grieving Friends
There are times when a close friend is mourning over the loss of a family member, a friend, a pet, etc. And it certainly is a tough time for them to go through. Other than showing support and always being there for them when they need someone the most, show that you really do care about them and what they're going through with a special gift.

Group Home for the Individual
In 2006, The Department of Social Services just in the state of MA had a grand total of 8385 cases. Out of said 8000 cases, only about 2000 of them had been in placement. Some going to foster homes others going into an assisted living while being mostly independent — and others being thrown into what is called congregated care in which the kids are placed into group homes.

10 Declarations to Make to Yourself in the Mirror
Why these statements are completely true and valid. You are beautiful. You really and truly are a wonderfully beautiful creation, and not just because of your body. No, you are gorgeous from the inside-out, because your beauty is rooted in much more than your skin-deep appeal. Your tenacity and your fortitude, your love and your compassion, your spirit and your very soul: these are the defining characteristics that make you beautiful. It is the beauty of those internal strengths that radiates outward and makes you absolutely glow with alluring grace; it is these inner charms that draw others to you.
