1 - Encourage Treatment.
There is hope to be found in treatment. According to the
National Institute of Mental Health, more than 80% of people suffering from a
mental illness can effectively return to their normal activities if they
receive appropriate treatment. With early detection and proper treatment many
will experience a full recovery. It is critically important to encourage and
support your loved one to consult with a professional for treatment
recommendations. Effective treatments can include medication, psychotherapy,
group therapy, day or partial hospital treatment, creative therapies,
hypnotherapy, acupuncture, biofeedback, ECT, and other alternative therapies.
Be a messenger of hope for your loved one by encouraging them to seek
treatment.
