"Recovery is a unique process for each person. It means having a better quality of life, hope, and resiliency."
"Recovery is regaining or developing the abilities one needs to reclaim a constructive place in society in spite of being diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness."
"Any mental health patient is capable of recovery. That is they can achieve optimal functioning with the help of medications, social services, counseling, and assistance with other aspects of their life."
