Most Common and Severe Mental Illness

 

3. BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER

This illness results in varying moods, behaviour and self-image. It often results in impulsive actions and problems in relationships. The person with BPD has trouble finding their true self, they blame people for feeling unloved and unworthy but at the same time, they want people to be around them too. They play a push and pull game without even realising. It is a chronic illness and may last a lifetime.

4. DEPRESSION

Sadly, depression is the most common of all mental disorders. It can occur at any point of life and affect a person for the short or long term, depending on their response to the treatment. The treatment usually includes meditation and talk-therapy sessions or sometimes both. A person who has depression feels low or depressed most of the time. They lose interest in activities, feel sad and get angry over little things. There are many cases where depression instigates a person to harm himself or commit suicide. A person suffering from depression needs constant attention and support from doctors, family and friends.
