Generally this indicates a chemical imbalance and or behaviour issues which is treatable through medication and therapy to help change the way you view your situation or think about your issues. IE: A lot of people with depression or social anxiety can be treated through thought exercises and winged off medication.
Being mental or certifiable is usually a condition in which the only treatment is induce a chemical haze in which you are barely responsive and unfit to be roaming society. ...Like most left wings in congress.
what this means is that you have issues probabaly that can be dealth with though counseilling or medication but it is treatable and not serious what it means is you need counseilling so dont worry too much about it.
You take life and yourself way to seriously...lighten up and chill out, and let the goodtimes roll.
Don't think everything anyone says in conversation over to much, don't rehash everything, take it at face value and let it go.
If you have mental health issues get the opinion of another health professional, don't take everything to heart without getting more than one opinion, most important, don't think everything to death, let it go.
Your CPN actually told you, you are not mental? I highly doubt that. Maybe you meant you were told that you are not insane, but have mental health problems. This could be anything, because you gave no details. Depression, nervous dibility, anxiety, panic states, over sensitized, agoraphobia, schizophrenia, psychotic, or a combination of mental health issues. If you want to know what you are diagnosed with, all you have to do is ask. They have to tell you, by law.
Initially, it is essential that you look at mental health in a similiar way that you look at physical illness. Mental Health diagnosis' are complex and there is a whole spectrum of illnesses. Many people have "mental health issues" without being in contact or requiring specialist help and intervention. It is also important to note that you may have mental health issues and you will recover from these issues. I suggest that you speak to your mental health professionals and ask what suitable and appropriate treatment options are available to you. Furthermore, there could be other factors involved including personality problems which are not treatable by conventional medical methods. I hope this helps.
None of these answers are correct. What your cpn meant is that you do not have a mental disorder, such as would be listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR is the most recent version). Mental health issues means that you are having some difficulties which a therapist can help you with, but they are not enough to add up to an actual disorder.
As far as I know, mental health issues is the new "name" or word for mental illness. The focus these days is very much on mental health and keeping people healthy mentally (and physically). They may have said you are not "mental" as this is a derogatory term for mental illness - is it one that you used first or that they used? Either way, everything from bipolar disorder to anxiety, schizophrenia to post traumatic stress disorder are mental health issues - it is a general term. If you are worried as them what they mean.
The best person to ask what it means is the person that told you - ask your doctor.
Carrie and bbw have my vote-you probably don't fit into various criteria for diagnoses.Your problems are not less serious just treated differently
you might have an illness in your mental department i.e. your brain. doesn't affect everything you do, normally, only some things
