Many people know that they are not living the quality of life they wish they could.

Having a basic knowledge of illness, prescriptions and how to deal with both is the difference between surviving and living. Some of the questions that need to be answered:

1. What are the real issues holding me back?
2. Do I suffer from some sort of psychological or psychiatric problem that needs professional help?
3. Am I feeling validated and respected with the professionals I am paying to help me to resolve my issues?
4. Do I really know what the diagnosis is and what it means in terms of how I understand myself and relate with others?
5. Do I know what medication I am on and why I take these particular medications?
6. Do these medications really help me or are there side-effects that I do not want to live with, but do not know there may be other options available to me?
7. Can I talk with my professionals in a manner that gains their attention to the point where I know that I am getting what I need, or am I just blindly following their input because I do not know my options. No one ever explains anything in a way I understand.
8. Am I told that I cannot achieve my dreams because of my illness. Am I told to just accept my diagnosis and follow the program that is spelled out for me?
9. Do I seem to go from one treatment venue to the next without any real chance to “live a mentally healthy life?
10. Do I always feel tired and do not know why?
11. Do any of my loved ones really understand what is going on with me?
12. Do I get blamed for being ill?
13. Do I feel stuck and do not know who to call or what to ask to help myself?
