0 Need For Mental Health Services

According to a UCLA study, 4.9 million people in California believe that
they require help for a psychological or mental health problem.
Researchers from the UCLA have also found that about one million people
in California are suffering from symptoms related to serious
psychological distress and complicated mental health disorders.Mental
health services are mostly dependent on government organizations and
other mental health professionals, such as nurses, psychiatrists,
counselors, and psychologists. Usually these services include support
groups for mental wellbeing, early psychosis teams, self-help groups,
halfway houses, assertive community treatment, and local medical
services. Mental health services are also available through world health
organization advocates, charitable organizations, or psychiatric
hospitals.These services also include psychiatric wards, local primary
care medical services, clubhouses or day centers, and supported housing
with partial or full supervision facilities available for people who are
suffering from mental illness.Mental health services are needed to
treat the following problems:

Mood disorders: People who are suffering from
this type of problem feel mood swings, including extreme anger,
happiness, or sadness. The mood of the person changes quickly and can be
the result of just anything. The most common mood disorders include
bipolar disorders and depression.
Anxiety disorders: A person's
response to certain situations results in nervousness or fear. This
includes post-traumatic stress disorders, obsessive-compulsive
disorders, and phobias like claustrophobia.
Personality disorders: An
individual experiences strange personality traits. Paranoid personality
disorders and antisocial personality disorders are two common examples.
Impulse
control disorders: A person who is affected may indulge in acts that
may harm themself or others. Stealing, compulsive gambling and spur to
start fires are some examples of impulse control disorders.
Substance
abuse disorders: The persons are addicted to take substances like
inhalants, alcohol and drugs. This addiction results in a neglect of
daily works and responsibilities.

disorders through awakening the affected person about religion. A lot of
people who are suffering with these distressing problems have turned
themselves toward the worship of the God, with the help of mental health
services, ministries, or Christian counseling, which motivate people to
control their addictions, behaviors, and undesirable mind-set.
