Understanding Mental Health and Disorders

Mental health affects how we think, feel, and handle everyday life. When it becomes hard to cope, it may be a sign of a mental health disorder. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, more than 1 in 5 US adults lives with a mental illness.

Why Is Mental Health Important?

Mental health plays a big role in how we manage stress, build relationships, and make choices. You may hear different terms like mental illness, behavioral disorder, or personality disorder. These describe conditions that affect mood, thinking, or behavior. Some disorders are short-term, while others are more serious and need long-term care. In 2021, SAMHSA reported that nearly 58 million adults in the US experienced a mental illness.

What Causes Mental Illness?

Mental health disorders can be caused by many things. This includes genetics, brain chemistry, trauma, stress, or tough life experiences. Some conditions improve with short-term treatment and support, while others are ongoing and need long-term care, sometimes including medication.

How Are Mental Health Conditions and Disorders Diagnosed?

Diagnosis often starts with a psychiatric evaluation and a talk about your symptoms. Mental health providers may use screening tools and compare your symptoms to guidelines in the DSM-5, the standard manual for diagnosing mental health disorders. Many people have both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder. This is called dual diagnosis.

Different conditions need different types of care. At Willow, we offer a range of treatment options to support your recovery and well-being.
