25. People With Mental Illness Can Be Very Healthy
People with mental illness can still have healthy relationships and productive lives. The key is whether they are willing to get into the driver’s seat of their lives and be proactive in therapy and treatment. Equally significant is having the support of friends and family, especially when they go into relapse.
Mental illness is undoubtedly a significant challenge that people have to overcome. Fortunately today, the stigma around it is eroding. Employers and schools are allowing people to take days off to take care of their mental health to make sure that they are functioning at their absolute best.
