So you might be interested in attending this EmoticonHouston (March 26, 2014) - LSC-Kingwood’s Library will sponsor a Mental Health Awareness Series every Wednesday in April. The purpose of this series is to demystify what mental illness is and to educate
people on the truth of what specific disorders are and how they can be treated.
 
 
“The only exposure that people who
suffer from mental illness get is often negative and focused on the
extreme acts of violence that can happen when people reach a breaking
point,” said Anthony McMillian,
director of LSC-Kingwood’s Library. “Rarely do most people understand
the struggle, heartache and often lack of treatment options that are
available for people who suffer from the various disorders that are
common in our society,” McMillan added. “We would
like to put a face to these disorders and educate everyone on the
challenges these people face and how it has an effect on everyone not
just families of the persons who are dealing with these issues.”
 
The following topics will be covered in the series:
 
·      
Overview and History of Mental Health in America, April 2, presented by Stacy Walker, professor of Psychology
 
·      
Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder, April 9, presented by Thelma Ellen, Ph.D.
 
·      
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, presented by Carla Maddox, LSCW Harris County Veterans Center
 
·      
Living with the Mentally Ill, April 23, presented by Stephanie Escamilla
 
·      
Concussions-Short and Long Term Effects, April 30, panel discussion featuring, Summer
Ott, Psy.D., Robert Andrews, Founder and Director of The Institute of Sports Psychology
 
All presentations will take place in the LSC-Kingwood Library, Room 104. The presentations are opened to the public. 4951

Well the good news is, most issues are treatable with massive amounts of psych drugs. 4951

@Drekonix:  Thanks!  It's good to see people openly discuss these issues.  The easy thing is to make fun of these problems and pretend they don't exist.  I went through PTSD and Depression and got the help I needed to overcome it.  Unfortunately, many people just thought I was ****ed in the head.  You don't really understand it until you, or someone you know or love suffers from it. 4951
