Mental health is health. Too many stigmas exist that prevent individuals from seeking help when signs of mental illness occur. Unlike physical symptoms of sickness that are addressed immediately, mental illness falls to the side due to stigmas and embarrassment. It is important to notice changes in emotional and mental health that persists longer than 2 weeks. Many minor things as OCD, ADHD, or minor stress and depression issues can be resolved through professional care.
Please also review AIHCP’s numerous mental health certifications within Grief Counseling, Crisis Counseling Spiritual/Christian Counseling, Anger Management and Stress Management Programs. The programs are online and independent study and open to qualified professionals. Remember only those within the clinical side of Human Services can treat mental illness. Pastoral counselors can refer or help others in non pathological issues.
