Over the past several years, diagnoses of mental health disorders have been on the rise. A number of factors could contribute to this circumstance including; the expansion of the mental health field, de-stigmatization of mental illness, an increase in hormones and other additives in food and many others. Sadly, more and more young women are being identified as having mental health disorders and their families are searching for ways to get them the help they need. Fortunately, due to the expansion of the mental health field, the women who are being diagnosed earlier are able to begin receiving treatment for their various mental ailments.

There are a variety of treatment programs all across the country who aim to identify these mental health disorders, and provide a safe space for the treatment to these young women. Often, in such treatment centers, many methods are employed to help make certain that recovery is possible. Individual therapy, group therapy sessions, psycho-drama programming, art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, physical exercise programs, meditation and many more techniques are used to help young women overcome their disorders and begin to live normal lives.

Psychiatric and psychopharmacological approaches are used as well. As with other physical illnesses, mental health disorders are often accompanied by a chemical imbalance in the neurological receptors in the brain causing many of the symptoms. Presently, there are many medications that have long-term studies and have proven incredibly helpful in the treatment of mental health disorders such as; depression, generalized anxiety disorder, bi-polar disorder, post-partum depression and a plethora of others. These tried and true medications have years of historical data, information and reliability and are often used in an interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of mental health disorders in young women.
Seeking appropriate treatment, relying on a multi-pronged approach which includes psychopharmacology and psychotherapy, and developing a strong support network are important factors when dealing with a mental health disorder. Unfortunately, with many of these mental illnesses, one of the symptoms is a desire to stop engaging in the behaviors that have subdued the symptoms once the symptoms subside. This is why the component of a support network is so critical to the recovery of young women from mental health disorders. Support groups, twelve step integration, and a social circle are imperative in order for young women to be successful in sustaining recovery from mental health disorders.

Reputable treatment programs with strong after-care recommendations, communal living environments, twelve step meetings, and other positive recovery related activities are the keys for young women to achieve relief, and sustain a life of growth and change despite being afflicted with mental illness.
