MENTAL ILLNESS

Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors.

Many people have mental health concerns from time to time. But a mental health concern becomes a mental illness when ongoing signs and symptoms cause frequent stress and affect your ability to function.

A mental illness can make you miserable and can cause problems in your daily life, such as at school or work or in relationships. In most cases, symptoms can be managed with a combination of medications and talk therapy (psychotherapy).

Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of mental illness can vary, depending on the disorder, circumstances and other factors. Mental illness symptoms can affect emotions, thoughts and behaviors.

Examples of signs and symptoms include:

-Feeling sad or down
-Confused thinking or reduced ability to concentrate
-Excessive fears or worries, or extreme feelings of guilt
-Extreme mood changes of highs and lows
-Withdrawal from friends and activities
-Significant tiredness, low energy or problems sleeping
-Detachment from reality (delusions), paranoia or hallucinations
-Inability to cope with daily problems or stress
-Trouble understanding and relating to situations and to people
-Alcohol or drug abuse
-Major changes in eating habits
-S*x drive changes
-Excessive anger, hostility or violence
-Suicidal thinking
Sometimes symptoms of a mental health disorder appear as physical problems, such as stomach pain, back pain, headache, or other unexplained aches and pains.

UTERINE FIBROIDS

Nearly 80% of women will develop uterine fibroids in their lifetimes. Some women may not know they have them, but other women may experience pain and other symptoms.

Recently clinical researchers found that women who undergo uterine artery embolization have better outcomes than women treated using an ultrasound surgery technique and are also less likely to need a second procedure. This is good news for the large number of women affected by fibroids and it demonstrates that minimally invasive procedures can have lasting effects with lower risk.
