About me:
NAMI Maine is the state’s only membership organization representing people with mental health and those with co-occurring substance use conditions and their families. Dedicated to improving the lives of all people affected by mental illness NAMI Maine provides services across the entire state of Maine.
NAMI Maine is trying to give teens and young adults the information they need to reach out for help, or give help to a friend who may be struggling with mental health issues.
This is the time in life when so many of the illness' take hold.
Bi-Polar Disorder
Most cases of bipolar disorder present in early adulthood in persons aged 20-30 years, but the second most common age group at presentation is those aged 15-19 years
Schizophrenia
"The onset of clear psychosis is typically in the teens or early adult years. It can occur before the onset of puberty.
Depression
Although there are no specific onset ages of depression, findings show that depression onset age occurs in the early twenties. Women tend to cope with and experience depression differently then men. Both genders experience depression, yet women are more likely to seek depression help and pregnant women can suffer from postpartum depression.
These are just a few of the issues that can become known at an early age. Please see the INTERESTS section for helpful links and You tube movies from consumers on these and other topics.
