Understanding the Difference: Mental Health vs. Mental Illness

Navigating the Landscape of Mental Wellness

In our quest for a healthier life, understanding the difference between mental health and mental illness is paramount. Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Mental illness, on the other hand, includes conditions affecting mood, thinking, and behavior, such as depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia.

The Role of Health Literacy

Health literacy plays a vital role in this understanding. It’s not just about disease awareness; it’s about making informed choices, understanding treatment options, and knowing where to find support. At DNM Health Services, we prioritize educating our clients, believing that informed individuals are empowered to participate actively in their care.

Our Holistic Approach

Our services in McDonough, Georgia, include individual counseling, family therapy, group meetings, and specialized therapy for children impacted by parental addiction. We address conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADD/ADHD with tailored treatment plans, emphasizing the importance of treating both mental health and mental illness comprehensively.

Breaking Down the Stigma 

By enhancing health literacy, we also aim to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental illness. By creating an environment of understanding and empathy, we encourage seeking help as a sign of strength.
