A disease is a particular abnormal condition, a disorder of a structure or function, that affects part or all of an organism. The causal study of disease is called pathology. Disease is often construed as a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. It may be caused by factors originally from an external source, such as infectious disease, or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions, such as autoimmune diseases. In humans, "disease" is often used more broadly to refer to any condition that causes pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, or death to the person afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact with the person. In this broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable categories. Diseases usually affect people not only physically, but also emotionally, as contracting and living with a disease can alter one's perspective on life, and one's personality.
A mental disorder, also called a mental illness, psychological disorder or psychiatric disorder, is mental or behavioral pattern that causes either suffering or a poor ability to function in ordinary life. Such features may be persistent, relapsing and remitting, or occur as a single episode. Many disorders have been described, with signs and symptoms that vary widely between specific disorders. Typically, social norms and religious or cultural beliefs are excluded.
The causes of mental disorders are often unclear. Theories may incorporate findings from a range of fields. Mental disorders are usually defined by a combination of how a person feels, acts, thinks or perceives. This may be associated with particular regions or functions of the brain, often in a social context. A mental disorder is one aspect of mental health. The scientific study of mental disorders is called psychopathology.
Services are based in psychiatric hospitals or in the community, and assessments are carried out by psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and clinical social workers, using various methods but often relying on observation and questioning. Treatments are provided by various mental health professionals. Psychotherapy and psychiatric medication are two major treatment options. Other treatments include social interventions, peer support and self-help. In a minority of cases there might be involuntary detention or treatment. Prevention programs have been shown to reduce depression.

Sally Burke is a mother from Hull. But to see her daughter – 13-year-old Maisie – she is forced to make a 118-mile roundtrip to Sheffield, where Maisie is currently sectioned under the Mental Health Act and receiving treatment for paranoid schizophrenia. A national shortage of hospital beds means people in crisis are being shunted all over the UK for hospital care. This, tragically, includes children. If troubled young people having to wait for two years for mental health treatment wasn't bad enough, that they can often only be admitted to psychiatric wards that are miles away from their homes and families is even more terrifying. The figures surrounding the mental health of young Brits are alarming. The number of children being admitted to hospital for self-harm is at a five-year high. ...

I've been sick for a week! AND WHAT FUN I'VE HAD. click here: http://youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=danisnotonfire to subscribe to my channel to be told when I make a new video! I could have spent the week dying quietly in the corner (like I probably should have) but I instead decided to vent all of my sadness and fury into a video. Now that's what I call healthy expression.

I was surprised how intense this script came out. Apparently this is something that's been stewing in me for a long time. I didn't realize it until I got really annoyed at a friend for saying something that I should have seen as thoughtful and kind. It's funny how these things can sneak up inside of you. Since I didn't actually check in on my health in this video, and I'm sure people will be curious, I do feel better. My sinus headache is persistent, but the cough is chilling out finally (which is good because I separated some connective tissue from my left lower rib, which is making the coughing hurt pretty bad.) The colitis is under control after an alarming Dayquil-related symptom spike. My medicine is working very well for me, even if it makes my immune system less good at its job. ...

To energize my understanding
And surviving in this future
With a clinical clarity today I see
Anxiety and terminal illness
Me in pieces, pieces of me
With a clinical clarity today I see
Dilaudid, Adderal, Neurotin, Valium
Xanax, Klonotin, Lezapro, Zipreza
Vicodin, in, in
In these psycho fingertips
For, for
For a suicidal tendency
A real jumper
To energize your understanding
And surviving in this future
Anxiety and illness
You're in pieces, pieces of you
Anxiety and illness
You're in pieces, pieces of you
In these psycho fingertips
With a clinical clarity
Today is what you don't see
In these psycho fingertips
With a clinical clarity
