精神疾病
Mental illnesses are some of the most misunderstood afflictions in today's society. Too many people think of mental illness as a "weakness." Nothing could be further from the truth. These are true illnesses and brain diseases.
Mental Health, Late-Life
Having sound mental health as an adult does not make a person immune from psychiatric problems later in life. Elderly individuals can also suffer from mental illness, but proper treatment and care can reduce or eliminate the symptoms, returning people to functioning, happier lives.
情绪障碍
悲伤和灰心的感觉是对困难情况的正常情绪反应。但是，当这些感觉持续超过几周，或者变得如此糟糕以至于他们控制了一个人的生活时，这可能是情绪障碍的标志。
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
强迫症遭受了数百万美国人的痛苦，并且在任何年龄段都可以罢工。可以接受治疗，药物和疗法的进步已成功地使许多有强迫症的人恢复了生产性，令人满意的生活。
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder, one in the family of anxiety disorders, is different from normal anxiety. While other anxiety disorders cause ongoing feelings of fear of impending doom, panic disorder is marked by sudden, unexpected attacks of intense terror.
Phobias
Fear is a natural reaction to danger. But when your fears are so great that they disrupt your daily life, you probably suffer from a phobia. Phobias are among the most common of all mental illnesses, and they are usually the most successfully treated.
身体健康和心理健康
Physical fitness involves much more than having the body of a fashion model. True physical fitness is a state of overall well-being and a measure of one's ability to perform normal physical activity. When you're physically healthy, you are more likely to be mentally healthy as well.
精神分裂症
精神分裂症比其他慢性疾病的普遍性少得多，每10万人中有150人（约150人）发生，约占人口的一百分之一，通常出现在青春期或成年期间。
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse is the misuse of a mood-altering substance and is one of the most common and costly problems in society today. Just about everyone has or will be faced with making decisions about substance use or abuse, however it touches our lives. Education is the first and most critical step toward making the right decision.
自杀，晚年
For many people, senior years are a time to enjoy life, to travel, to do things they weren't able to before retirement. They look back on their lives with satisfaction. But for some others, growing older is a painful, difficult process.
Teen Suicide
For many, teen years are some of the most difficult in life. Our bodies go through changes; relationships become complex; we begin to learn social roles; and more than ever we're expected to grow up earlier. These changes and demands may leave a teenager feeling helpless, confused and pessimistic about the future.
