Exacerbating Mental Illness

October 31st, 2008 by admin

There is a need to recognise the factors that can be really bad news for so many individuals with a serious mental illness.  Too much excitement and unwanted changes can be harmful to a person with depression or anxiety.   As can lack of sleep and inadequate nutrition.  Almost as important is the abuse of alcohol.  By drinking more than a moderate amount  sufferers can become more vulnerable by adversely affecting mood and by interacting with their medication.  The taking of drugs such as LSD and cannabis can make the difference between  someone suffering with a depressive illness having the potential to make a good recovery or becoming virtually untreatable.
