My suggestions for solution:
--Pray more
--Trust God more
--Trust random people less --
--especially those around you who -- frighteningly may look normal
but actually BE among these statistics below.
--Pray to ask for protection from inadvertently dealing
with any of these people or other mental / emotional disasters who
may ruin your life or finances or those of family and people you care about.
Otherwise, you may hear forever about the fallout from their mistakes by trusting this type of mental case.
Some are very good at covering up their symptoms - so just because
they SEEM Ok, doesn't mean they ARE.
--Why not ask Allah [swt]
every day
to guide you and those around you
to bring you in contact with none but
the best, nicest, most clear-minded, healthy and balanced individuals
with true integrity !!

Quick Facts: Mental disorders in America
Fri Aug 5, 2011
According to a research published in August 2011 in the Archives of General Psychiatry, the rates of hospitalization for minors with mental illness rose sharply between the years of 1996 and 2007. chron.com
The researcher, Dr. Joseph C. Blader found that during this time the number of kids ages 5 to 13 discharged from psychiatric hospitals rose by more than 80 percent. The number of teens discharged rose by 42 percent. Chron.com
Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear after age 60. nia.nih.gov
Alzheimer’s is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S. and the only cause of death among the top 10 in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed. alzheimersweekly.com
Based on mortality data from 2000-2008, death rates have declined for most major diseases while deaths from Alzheimer’s disease have risen 66 percent during the same period. alz.org
Today, 5.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease up from 5.3 million in 2010. By 2050, as many as 16 million Americans will have the disease. alz.org
Of Americans aged 65 and over, 1 in 8 has Alzheimer’s, and nearly half of people aged 85 and older have the disease. Two-thirds of those with the disease – 3.4 million – are women. alz.org
Now one American develops Alzheimer’s disease every 69 seconds. In 2050, an American will develop the disease every 33 seconds. alznyc.org
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are common psychiatric disorders. Many patients with anxiety disorders experience physical symptoms related to anxiety. emedicine.medscape.com
Anxiety disorders appear to be caused by an interaction of biopsychosocial factors, including genetic vulnerability, which interact with situations, stress, or trauma to produce clinically significant syndromes. emedicine.medscape.com
Young adult Mexican migrants in the United States are much more likely to suffer depression and anxiety disorders than family members of migrants who remain in Mexico, a study published in April 2011 finds. health.usnews.com
Treatment usually consists of a combination of pharmacotherapy and/or psychotherapy. emedicine.medscape.com
Mental retardation
Mental retardation is a generalized disorder appearing before adulthood, characterized by significantly impaired cognitive functioning and deficits in two or more adaptive behaviors. It has historically been defined as an Intelligence Quotient score under 70. freerepublic.com
In North America mental retardation is subsumed into the broader term developmental disability, which also includes epilepsy, autism, cerebral palsy and other disorders that develop during the developmental period (birth to age 18). imbecility.askdefine.com
Children in poor families may suffer mental retardation because of malnutrition, disease-producing conditions, inadequate medical care, and environmental health hazards. samhi.mimh.edu
As many as 1 American out of 35 may be mentally retarded. (That's 3% of the population) samhi.mimh.edu
Every 5 minutes, a child is born with mental retardation (more than 100,000 per year). samhi.mimh.edu
Mood Disorders
Mood disorders affect about 10% of the U.S. population. Everyone experiences "highs" and "lows" in life, but people with mood disorders experience them with greater intensity and for longer periods of time than most people. cmha.ca
Depression is the most common mood disorder; a person with depression feels "very low." Symptoms may include: feelings of hopelessness, changes in eating patterns, disturbed sleep, constant tiredness, an inability to have fun, and thoughts of death or suicide. cmha.ca
People with manic depression have periods of depression and periods of feeling unusually "high" or elated. The "highs" get out of hand, and the manic person can behave in a reckless manner. cmha.ca
The cause of mood disorders is not fully understood, but an imbalance in brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters is likely to play a role. Sometimes mood disorders may be related to a medical condition, substance abuse, life events, or other causes. bettermedicine.com
The most common types of mood disorders include major depression, dysthymic disorder (milder depressive disorder), and bipolar disorder, in which episodes of severe depression and mania (elevated mood) occur in the same individual. bettermedicine.com
Personality Disorders
Personality disorders are a group of psychiatric conditions in which a person's long-term (chronic) behaviors, emotions, and thoughts are very different from their culture's expectations and cause serious problems with relationships and work. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
At first, people with these disorders usually do not seek treatment on their own. They tend to seek help once their behavior has caused severe problems in their relationships or work, or when they are diagnosed with another psychiatric problem, such as a mood or substance abuse disorder. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Those who struggle with a personality disorder have great difficulty dealing with other people. They tend to be inflexible, rigid, and unable to respond to the changes and demands of life. nmha.org
Although they feel that their behavior patterns are “normal” or “right,” people with personality disorders tend to have a narrow view of the world and find it difficult to participate in social activities. cumminsbhs.com
Although personality disorders take time to treat, there is increasing evidence that certain forms of talk therapy can help many people. In some cases, medications can be a useful addition to therapy. cumminsbhs.com
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a real illness. You can get PTSD after living through or seeing a traumatic event, such as war, a hurricane, rape, physical abuse or a bad accident. PTSD makes you feel stressed and afraid after the danger is over. nlm.nih.gov
About 300,000 U.S. troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan suffer symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder or depression, but about half receive no care, an independent study said in April 2011. capveterans.com
This is while veterans with PTSD have received disturbing news thanks to a new study. Researchers found that an antipsychotic given to thousands of U.S. veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder has a negligible impact on the common condition. thirdage.com
Treatments for PTSD usually include psychological and medical interventions. Providing information about the illness, helping the individual manage the trauma by talking about it directly, teaching the person ways to manage symptoms of PTSD, and exploration and modification of inaccurate ways of thinking about the trauma are the usual techniques used in psychotherapy for this illness. medicinenet.com
Psychotic Disorder (Schizophrenia)
Psychotic disorders are mental disorders in which the personality is seriously disorganized and a person's contact with reality is impaired. During a psychotic episode a person is confused about reality and often experiences delusions and/or hallucinations. athealth.com
One type of Psychotic disorder mentioned in various sources is Schizophrenia. wrongdiagnosis.com
Approximately 2.4 million American adults, or about 1.1 percent of the population age 18 and older in a given year have schizophrenia. indianamentalhealthneeds.org
Schizophrenia is a devastating disorder for most people who are afflicted, and very costly for families and society. schizophrenic.com
The overall U.S. 2002 cost of schizophrenia was estimated to be $62.7 billion, with $22.7 billion excess direct health care cost ($7.0 billion outpatient, $5.0 billion drugs, $2.8 billion inpatient, $8.0 billion long-term care). schizophrenic.com
Many people with schizophrenia do not get treatment and end up amongst the struggling homeless population throughout the world. newharbinger.com
Of the approximately 3.2 million Americans with schizophrenia, the majority aren’t receiving treatment. newharbinger.com
