"Victoria will go in and just tweak it a
little bit ... to annoy me."
Rebecca Woolis, a family therapist
and the author of When Someone You
Love Has a Mental Illness, says that what
may seem like good-natured fun can be
damaging. "When you're struggling with
symptoms, it makes life even more difficult," she says, "and may discourage
some people from seeking treatment."

MYTH
#1
Mental illness
doesn't affect
anyone I know.
About one in five Americans suffers
from a mental illness, according to the
NIMH. "It's likely that you know someone who is affected; you just may not
know that they have a mental illness,"
Sederer says.
Keep in mind this number encompasses the entire spectrum of mental illnesses. The incidence of serious mental
illness-defined by NIMH as causing
"serious functional impairment which
substantially interferes with or limits one
or more major life activities"-affects
about one in 25 people.

for Development program since 2005.
More than 43 million Americans
experienced a mental illness in 2012,
according to the National Institute of
Mental Health (NIMH). Yet only 39
percent are receiving proper treatment,
studies suggest. Beckham hasn't been
forthcoming about whether he's sought
professional help.
Lloyd I. Sederer, MD, a psychiatrist
and the author of The Family Guide to
Mental Health Care, says myths can
make people hesitate to seek treatment.
"They may see their illness as something to be ashamed of and they don't
want to be judged," he says.
But by learning the truth, you can
make it easier for people struggling with
mental illness to seek treatment. Here,
our experts debunk five common myths.
