When we say "SPMIs," we are talking about mental illnesses that are recurrent, long-lasting, and make it hard for you to do your everyday life. Examples include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression.

These diagnoses are more common than you realize, AND there are numerous treatment options including medications, psychotherapy, and self-management strategies (like developing healthy routines, optimizing sleep, recognizing triggers, and learning coping skills).

If you are someone with a SPMI, you are not alone. Ellie therapists are here for you. Let's spread awareness and break that stigma. 💪

No matter what your Monday mornings look like, try taking a moment to be present in your environment☀

Maybe it's the rays of sunshine coming in through your window, the cup of warm coffee on your desk, or the sounds of laughter down the hall – but practicing mindfulness and gratefulness for the smaller things will help center and ground you for the week ahead.
