Program Summary And Objectives: “Millions of American today receive health care for mental or substance-use problems and illnesses. These conditions are the leading cause of combined disability and death of women and the second highest of men.” “Improving the Quality of health Care for Mental and Substance-Use Conditions,” Institute of Medicine Report, November 1, 2005; Studies are showing an alarming trend, incidents of mental illness related to drug use are on the rise. It’s unclear what came first, did a predisposition to mental illness lead to drug use, or is it the other way around? No matter what, co-occurring disorders are a problem. Especially in the wake of this year’s hurricanes and other disasters, mental health and substance abuse professionals need to be poised to provide additional care for those suffering serious mental trauma and who may turn to alcohol and drugs as a result. During this hour-long broadcast, hear from treatment providers about the delicate balance between treating a person’s addiction and his or her mental illness. We’ll also learn about the stigma attached to mental illness and how coalitions can help fight it. Hear from representatives of the American Psychiatric ociation about the group’s advocacy of comprehensive and non-discriminatory health insurance coverage of mental illness and substance abuse disorders. Learning Objectives: Define co-occurring disorders; Learn about the difficulty treating co-occurring disorders; Discover solutions to the problems both communities and patients face; See how community-based organizations can help improve the local climate to ist those in recovery from substance use disorders and mental health problems;

they ask questions and maybe talk to someone that knows you, look at your behaviors and if everything adds up…you (might) have a disorder. It’s complicated and sometimes theyre wrong.

A brain scan would …
A brain scan would only show a tumor or a broken blood vessel or something like that, not a disorder. They would talk to you and ask questions like…Why do you think you have this disorder and stuff like that. For every disorder there are standard questions that a doctor would ask. Also they would look at different behaviors and it would help if they could talk to someone that knows you well. Unfortunatly a brain scan wouldnt help in your case. It would be easier if it did. good luck!

I would not write you off as completely sane because you did not mention your love or concern for your mother.

Great comment. The …
Great comment. The NWO wiped out Shamanism which was used to treat mental illness for centuries. Modern medicine is synthetic poison. I’m on them (12 years) only because the US will not legalize. Drugs were are meant to be used for religious purposes and NOT RECREATION! A ritual (be it physical or mental) must be used to prevent bad trips.
peace.

your the kind of person that allows our gov to spend 20 billion dollars every year for a drug war that has only produced violence and destruction of communities. Prohibition never works the key is regulation like the dutch drug policy.

waste myself, as in kill myself, because your more likely to die from an argument in a pub than you are from ecstasy, let alone marijuana, but if your talking about wasting my life, i’ve got a highly paid job, and friends and family that love me, and i have smoked everyday for 8 years, seriously its life that sucks for some and some are just stupid drugs won’t change that either way.

rather than …
rather than attempting (and failing if you know how available drugs are to people) to get rid of drugs that can and are used in medical treatment, like cannabis, opiates, and cocaine, why not strive to make the world a better place and try to eliminate the true cause of mental illness, excessive stress induced by life sucking.
