Brookline Psychiatry—Psychiatrists in Brookline, MA
You know how sometimes things don’t go as planned? Well, when we’re diagnosed with a mental illness, this couldn’t be truer. Nobody plans or expects to develop depression, anxiety, PTSD. Nobody thinks that it will happen to them. But the reality is that 1 in 4 individuals will be affected by a mental disorder at some point in their lives. This means that there’s actually a pretty good chance that you or someone you’re close to will develop symptoms of a mental illness.
This might be a scary realization, but the above statistic isn’t meant to scare you. It’s meant to prepare you. If you do develop a mental illness, it’s okay—and it isn’t the end of the world. The most widespread mental illnesses, like anxiety and depression, are some of the most treatable illnesses. So, if you are affected by a mental health condition, don’t worry. You can find help and healing in therapy and/or medication.
Your mental health is more important than the test, the interview, the lunch
date, the meeting, the family dinner, and the grocery run. Take care of yourself.”
