This mental health coping skills book will offer a cumulative of technique from months of research and feedback from a diverse group of individuals with mental health disorders. Although some of the technique can be found, and used differently for several mental health disorders, the coping techniques were gather together to be conveniently found in one book. This book will show you how to turn technique into coping skills and choose the best skills for each mental illness as well as, help you make the right choices when selecting alternative holistic ways to treat your mental illness. Each technique in this book was tested and found to be most helpful in helping individuals living with a mental health diagnosis live a "normal" life. It's been said that coping skill techniques is essential in maintaining control over any mental health condition. What works for one person may not work for another, and no one treatment is appropriate in all cases. Just as the symptoms and causes of mental illness are different in different people, so are the ways to feel better. It is suggested to use these coping techniques accompanied with other treatments such as therapy (http: //therapist2013.wix.com/e-therapy) and medication, or the techniques can be done alone. There is evidence showing individuals who need and use coping skills are growing at an alarming rate. However, I am not trying to reinvent the wheel; I believe this book will clearly give examples of coping techniques that will fit your mental health needs. The easy-to-do techniques will enable you to learn the technique in a short period of time, and it can be done anywhere. In many cases, you may find that alternating or combining different techniques will help you stay motivated and provide you with the best results. The secret to success is to follow the techniques until you find the one that works for you. Note to the reader: No coping skill technique replaces the medical advice of a physician. Please be certain to consult with your doctor before making any decisions that affect your health, particularly if you suffer from any medical condition or have any symptoms that may require treatment. There is always in any process the possibility that someone could experience some discomfort.
