“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” - Michael Jordan

Myth: People with mental illness do not do well in their job or successfully raise a family

FACTS:
•Mental illness says nothing about a person’s capabilities or future. Many people living with mental illness work and parent effectively.
•While some people may require support from their workplace when unwell, many will not require any additional support.
•However, the stigma associated with mental illness can lead to discrimination in the workplace and can lead many people to not disclose their illness.
•While support may be required in some cases, this does not mean that people with a mental illness cannot fulfil their parenting role.

Are you walking a tight-rope with nowhere to turn? ... Life isn't what you feel it should be, but you can't put your finger on why? ... Are there memories you can't shake off and some of them don't make any sense? ... I'm so angry at everyone for no reason - I just can't stop!

What is Mental Illness:
Mental illnesses are medical conditions that disrupt a person's thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others and daily functioning. Just as diabetes is a disorder of the pancreas, mental illnesses are medical conditions that often result in a diminished capacity for coping with the ordinary demands of life.

Serious mental illnesses include major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder. The good news about mental illness is that recovery is possible.

Mental illnesses can affect persons of any age, race, religion, or income. Mental illnesses are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character or poor upbringing. Mental illnesses are treatable. Most people diagnosed with a serious mental illness can experience relief from their symptoms by actively participating in an individual treatment plan.

In addition to medication treatment, psychosocial treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, peer support groups and other community services can also be components of a treatment plan and that assist with recovery. The availability of transportation, diet, exercise, sleep, friends and meaningful paid or volunteer activities contribute to overall health and wellness, including mental illness recovery.

Mental health may affect a person's ability to interact successfully with their family, friends, work-mates and the broader community. It can cause significant distress and disability, and can lead to isolation of, and discrimination against, those affected.

People with a mental health disorder may not be able to fully participate in the labour force. This has individual impacts in terms of the person's income, social participation and self-esteem, and also has wider economic impacts. The annual cost of mental illness in Australia has been estimated at $20 billion, which includes the cost of lost productivity and labour force participation. In 2003, mental disorders were identified as the leading cause of healthy years of life lost due to disability. (ABS 2009)
