Mental illnesses are real, common, and treatable.
They affect one in five Americans each year regardless of age, sex, ethnic background, skin color or social status. Mental illnesses can often be debilitating, making life less enjoyable and in some cases, unbearable. Widespread assumptions about mental illnesses overlook the fact that as many as eight in ten people suffering from mental illness can effectively return to normal, productive lives after they receive appropriate treatment. MCG psychiatry and health behavior specialists provide services for children, adolescent and adult patients. Treatment programs are individually designed to effectively treat the range of mental illnesses, including depression, bipolar, panic, eating and anxiety disorders.
