Finding Help when Dealing with Depression, Autism or Other Issues

by | Jan 23, 2015 | Health and Fitness

Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) are designed to help adults over the age of 18 who may be impaired by a mental illness gain skills for independent living and meeting personal goals in their lives. Whether it be an escape from the burden of severe depression, bipolar disorder, brain injuries or other mental health impairments you can find an individual plan suited to help you achieve personal goals and go on to lead an independent and successful life in and around Minneapolis.

The Nonstop Pursuit of Happiness

Imagine a dark rain cloud following you around every day for weeks or months on end, raining on anything fun you try to do and blocking out any sunlight or rays of happiness you may experience. This, in its most basic form, is depression and it is one of the most widespread mental illnesses in the world with no regard to age, gender, race or social status. Everyone is susceptible. If you or someone you know is trying to find their way out from under that dark rain cloud, please contact a counselor today.

Nurturing Independent Living Skills

Parents of autistic adult children know they won’t be around forever, and they worry about what will happen to their children when they are gone. Like every parent, they want the best for their children at all times so learning independent living skills, social integration and communication skills as well as basic job skills now can help your children lead fulfilling lives. Being able to tend to some of their own needs adds a sense of pride and accomplishment that cannot be gained elsewhere.

Asking For and Accepting Help

One of the biggest obstacles to overcome in your journey is asking for outside help from strangers. Everyone will need help at some point in their life, and it is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about when asking for it. You might think there is nothing that can be done for your situation, but being able to take that first step will put you on the road to recovery. It will break the chains that are holding you down, or show you the light at the end of the tunnel. It might not happen overnight, or this month, or this year – but being able to have the patience and courage to start on your own path to wellness will be encouraged and respected.
