Mental illness affects one in five families, striking persons from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, income, religion, or education. If untreated, biologically based brain disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder can profoundly disrupt a person's ability to think, feel, and relate to others and their environment.
NAMI Members Promote Advocacy for:
· Effective professional treatment
· Programs and legislation which assist persons with mental illness
· Community awareness and removal of the stigma
· Recommendations for services in the mental health system
· Consumer representation on boards and organizations
· Increased funding for research
· Adequate health insurance for persons with Mental Illness
· Affordable housing
· Rehabilitation and social skill
· JUSTICE within the Criminal Justice System
