Sometimes people diagnosed with a mental disease may not even know it for a majority of his or her life.
Treatment
Talk therapy is usually the first choice of treatment (unlike some other illnesses where medication is often first.) Generally, treatment involves sessions with a mental health counselor. For therapy to be effective, people must trust their therapist.
