The stigma of mental health

At Reset Restore MD, we are aware of the stigma that still surrounds mental health disorders. Despite the prevalence of mental health disorders, this stigma continues to affect millions of people. Did you know that about 20% of adults are experiencing a mental illness?  That is nearly 50 million Americans. What does this mean? YOU are not alone. 

 

More than half of the people with mental illness do not receive help for their disorders. People may avoid or delay seeking treatment due to concerns about being treated differently or fears of losing their jobs. Does this sound familiar to you? 

 

The harmful effects of stigma can include:

• Reluctance to seek help or treatment and less likely to stay with treatment
• Social isolation
• Lack of understanding by family, friends, coworkers, or others
• Reduced hope
• Lower self-esteem
• Difficulties with social relationships

 

Let’s work together to dissolve the stigma of mental health disorders. Here at Reset Restore MD, you will never be treated differently. You are more than a diagnosis. You are a mother, father, brother, sister, wife, husband, friend, colleague, companion… YOU deserve an individualized treatment plan, compassion, empathy, and empowerment.

You will find that at Reset Restore MD.
