make them worse
Alcohol Stress
Drugs Car Accident
Abuse/Neglect War
Fear Trauma
Loss Natural Disaster
Death Extreme Poverty
Bullying Social Expectations
What are Types of Mental
Illnesses?
Mood Disorders
• Everyone has “moods”, high and low. A person’s mood can change from day
to day or multiple times in a day, and be affected by any number of things
• If someone has a mood disorder, they might find it hard to maintain a higher
mood for any length of time and/or not be able to pinpoint or explain why their
mood is low, as it seems to be out of their control.
• It can be extremely disruptive to a person’s life, and affect relationships,
employment, school, family, goals etc.

Anxiety Disorders
• Everyone feels anxious or nervous at times.
• Challenges such as family pressures, public speaking, highly demanding
schedules or writing an exam can lead to a sense of worry, even fear.
• These sensations, however uncomfortable, are different from the ones
associated with an anxiety disorder.
• People suffering from an anxiety disorder are subject to intense, prolonged
feelings of fright and distress for no obvious reason
https://vimeo.com/128611697
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaPN9KQoYbs
Eating Disorders
• Eating disorders actually have very little to do with food, eating, or
appearance. Those are merely symptoms of the disorder and how a
person’s distress is manifested, but the root of the problem is often much
deeper.
• Involves a pattern of disturbed eating habits and behaviours that are
significant enough to get in the way of good physical health and ability to live
a comfortable life.
• Eating disorders are potentially life-threatening and have the highest
mortality rate of any other group of mental illnesses.
• Eating disorders effect both males and females.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbMi_ygqRYU
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by an
ongoing pattern of behaviour that interferes with functioning or development.
• Some people with ADHD only have problems with one of the behaviors,
while others have both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyOdenFEwnQ
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
• Inattention means a person wanders off task, lacks persistence, has
difficulty sustaining focus, and is disorganized
• Hyperactivity means a person may move about constantly, including
situations where it is not appropriate, or excessively fidgets, taps, or talks.
• Impulsivity means a person makes hasty decisions that occur in the
moment and that may have high potential for harm, or a desire for immediate
rewards or inability to delay gratification.

Substance Related Disorders
Substance Related Disorders
• Addiction is a complicated mental illness that has a profound impact on a
person’s life. It occurs when a person is enslaved to something that is
psychologically and/or physically habit-forming.
• One way people try and identify whether something is an addiction or not is
to look for the “Four Cs”:
– Craving
– Loss of Control of amount or frequency of use
– Compulsion to use
– Use continues despite Consequences.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUngLgGRJpo
Prevention Strategies
Focus Time: closely focus on tasks in a goal-oriented way, taking on
challenges that make deep connections in the brain.
Play Time: allow ourselves to be spontaneous or creative, playfully
enjoying novel experiences, which helps make new connections in the brain.
Connecting Time: when we connect with other people, ideally in person,
or take time to appreciate our connection to the natural world around us, richly
activating the brain's relational circuitry.
Physical Time: when we move our bodies, aerobically if possible, which
strengthens the brain in many ways.
Prevention Strategies
Time In: when we quietly reflect internally, focusing on sensations, images,
feelings and thoughts, helping to better integrate the brain.
Down Time: when we are non-focused, without any specific goal, and let
our mind wander or simply relax, which helps our brain recharge.
Sleep Time: when we give the brain the rest it needs to consolidate
learning and recover from the experiences of the day

They are more common than ADD and autism spectrum disorders Approximately only 20% of youth receive treatment
  • 15. What is Stigma? A sign of social unacceptability (negative judgments, stereotypes) Labeling, discrediting, or showing prejudice towards someone because of a characteristic they have 1/5 people will experience a mental illness It jumps to 1/3 if you include substance related disorders
  • 16. Effects of Stigma on Mental Illness Increases hesitation for individuals living with a mental illness to seek help because they may fear being blamed, talked down to, or seen as weak Increases self-stigma: internalized negative stereotypes that lead people with mental illness to adopt attitudes of self-loathing and self-blame, increasing a sense of helplessness and hopelessness.
  • 17. How to Stomp out Stigma?
  • 18. How to Stomp out Stigma? Language matters: words can help…but they can also hurt. Pay attention to the words you use. Educate yourself: learn the facts and myths about mental illness. Be knowledgeable and help fight stigma with facts. Be Kind: treat a person who has a mental illness with the kindness and care you give to people with other illnesses through a friendly smile, a helping hand, a phone call or visit. Educate others: talk about mental illness with friends, family, peers, teammates Know that recovery is possible.
  • 19. What are the causes of Mental Illness?
  • 20. Causes of Mental Illness Neurotransmitter Theory • Brain consists of billions of neurons • Neurons communicate with each other through chemicals called neurotransmitters • Mental Illness can occur when there is an imbalance of neurotransmitters • Medication can be given to balance and regulate the neurotransmitters
  • 21. Causes of Mental Illness Genetic Predisposition • Every person has genes that are passed on to them by their parents • Genes determine many things like our hair color and our height • If a family member has a mental illness they may pass on the susceptibility of the disease through our genes
  • 22. Causes of Mental Illness Environmental Factors • Some events or experiences can trigger mental illness • Environmental factors alone may not cause a mental illness but they can make them worse Alcohol Stress Drugs Car Accident Abuse/Neglect War Fear Trauma Loss Natural Disaster Death Extreme Poverty Bullying Social Expectations
  • 23. What are Types of Mental Illnesses?
  • 24. Mood Disorders • Everyone has “moods”, high and low. A person’s mood can change from day to day or multiple times in a day, and be affected by any number of things • If someone has a mood disorder, they might find it hard to maintain a higher mood for any length of time and/or not be able to pinpoint or explain why their mood is low, as it seems to be out of their control. • It can be extremely disruptive to a person’s life, and affect relationships, employment, school, family, goals etc. https://vimeo.com/118151925 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCrniLQGYc
  • 25. Anxiety Disorders • Everyone feels anxious or nervous at times. • Challenges such as family pressures, public speaking, highly demanding schedules or writing an exam can lead to a sense of worry, even fear. • These sensations, however uncomfortable, are different from the ones associated with an anxiety disorder. • People suffering from an anxiety disorder are subject to intense, prolonged feelings of fright and distress for no obvious reason https://vimeo.com/128611697 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaPN9KQoYbs
  • 26. Eating Disorders • Eating disorders actually have very little to do with food, eating, or appearance. Those are merely symptoms of the disorder and how a person’s distress is manifested, but the root of the problem is often much deeper. • Involves a pattern of disturbed eating habits and behaviours that are significant enough to get in the way of good physical health and ability to live a comfortable life. • Eating disorders are potentially life-threatening and have the highest mortality rate of any other group of mental illnesses. • Eating disorders effect both males and females. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbMi_ygqRYU
  • 27. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by an ongoing pattern of behaviour that interferes with functioning or development. • Some people with ADHD only have problems with one of the behaviors, while others have both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyOdenFEwnQ
  • 28. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder • Inattention means a person wanders off task, lacks persistence, has difficulty sustaining focus, and is disorganized • Hyperactivity means a person may move about constantly, including situations where it is not appropriate, or excessively fidgets, taps, or talks. • Impulsivity means a person makes hasty decisions that occur in the moment and that may have high potential for harm, or a desire for immediate rewards or inability to delay gratification.
  • 30. Substance Related Disorders • Addiction is a complicated mental illness that has a profound impact on a person’s life. It occurs when a person is enslaved to something that is psychologically and/or physically habit-forming. • One way people try and identify whether something is an addiction or not is to look for the “Four Cs”: – Craving – Loss of Control of amount or frequency of use – Compulsion to use – Use continues despite Consequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUngLgGRJpo
  • 31. Prevention Strategies Focus Time: closely focus on tasks in a goal-oriented way, taking on challenges that make deep connections in the brain. Play Time: allow ourselves to be spontaneous or creative, playfully enjoying novel experiences, which helps make new connections in the brain. Connecting Time: when we connect with other people, ideally in person, or take time to appreciate our connection to the natural world around us, richly activating the brain's relational circuitry. Physical Time: when we move our bodies, aerobically if possible, which strengthens the brain in many ways.
  • 32. Prevention Strategies Time In: when we quietly reflect internally, focusing on sensations, images, feelings and thoughts, helping to better integrate the brain. Down Time: when we are non-focused, without any specific goal, and let our mind wander or simply relax, which helps our brain recharge. Sleep Time: when we give the brain the rest it needs to consolidate learning and recover from the experiences of the day
  • 33. What are Pathways to Recovery?
  • 34. What are the Pathways to Recovery? Seek help from a medical professional  Allow a doctor to listen to your concerns and provide you with a diagnosis  The sooner you see a doctor, the sooner you can start to recover  A doctor can link you to other key mental health supports Medication  Work with your doctor to find what medication options work best for you Learn about your mental illness  Consider how the illness impacts you as an individual  Educate those around you about mental illness  Be aware that having a mental illness does not mean you cannot achieve your goals
