(Originally published by NAMI in 2014.)
This guide will help you learn how to recognize mental health conditions,
the types of treatments and supports available and where to go for help.
The stories in this guide illustrate what it is like to live with a mental health
condition. They are meant to illustrate common issues only. For these examples,
we will assume that an evaluation has been completed, since the only way
to get an accurate diagnosis is to get a full evaluation from a mental health
professional (see page 12 for more on getting an evaluation).
