Globally, according to the WHO, every one in eight people is suffering from some sort of mental disorder. They range from mild to severe and affect any person regardless of age, social class, or ethnicity.

Types of Mental Health Disorders

There are many types of mental health disorders that have different symptoms and various forms of treatment. The most prevalent ones are as follows:

anxiety-disorder

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive worry, fear, or anxiety that disrupt one's daily activities. It is a very common mental illness, affecting millions of people across the world. Common therapy, medication use, and changing lifestyle habits are typical treatments against this disorder.

depression

Depression

Depression is characterized by feelings of persisting sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities enjoyable to a person, thus readily marks itself as a mood disorder. This condition profoundly affects daily life and necessitates comprehensive treatments involving therapy coupled with medication.

bipolar-disorder

Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness characterized by extreme fluctuations in mood—from emotional highs, either manic or hypomanic, to lows, depression. This swing can affect energy levels and alter the ability to conduct daily activities, including behavior. Bipolar disorder generally requires treatment using a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.

eating-disorder

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are characterized by an obsession with body weight, form, and intake of food to the point of dangerous eating habits: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge-eating disorder. They might be really dangerous both for physical and mental health, so treatment should be carried out informed by a tailored approach related to psychiatric and physiological factors.

ocd

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder OCD

OCD is a disorder characterized by unwarranted, repetitive thoughts and repetitive behaviors called compulsions, which are aimed at reducing the distress arising from obsession. These compulsions further aim at lowering the increase in anxiety related to obsession. Treatment usually combines cognitive-behavioral therapy with, sometimes, medication.

paranoia

Paranoia

Paranoia includes unrealistic, indefinite beliefs of mistrust or suspicion that might provoke one to believe that others wish to hurt or conspire against them despite the absence of such proof. This may be caused by various mental disorders such as schizophrenia and delusional disorders. Therapy alongside medication is applied in the management of symptoms.

ptsd

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

PTSD is caused by either witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. It is essentially flashbacks, overwhelming fear, and uncontrollable thoughts concerning the incident. Treatments for PTSD include behavioral therapy, medication, and support groups.

psychosis

Psychosis

Psychosis is a kind of illness in which an individual is absolutely dissociated from reality. Consequently, a patient can experience hallucinations, which means that they would see or hear things that do not exist, and one may also develop delusions, such as false beliefs. The psychotic disorder, such as schizophrenia, needs an intensive treatment program that will incorporate both forms involving medicines and talking therapies.

Symptoms of Mental Disorders

Symptoms of mental disorders vary depending on the specific condition but usually include:

  • Persistent sadness or depression
  • Excessive fears or worries
  • Extreme mood swings
  • Loss of interest in social events
  • Eating disorders and insomnia
  • Tiredness and unexplained body aches
  • Difficulty concentrating or thinking properly
  • Detachment from reality (delusions or hallucinations)
