Recovery Relating to principles of PsyR
Recovery from mental illness involves much more than recovery from the illness. itself. People with mental illness(es) may have to recover from the stigma that they incorporated into their very being; from the iatrogenic effects of treatment setting; from the lack of recent opportunities for self-determination; from the negative side effects of unemployment; and from crushed dreams. Recover is a complex, time-consuming process.
The Eight Essential Features of recover-oriented mental health services
1. Recovery can occur without professional intervention.
2. A common denominator of recovery is the presence of individuals who believe in the person in recovery and will stand by him/her.
3. Recovery as a vision does function as a part of a person's ideas or theories about "mental illnesses".
4. Recovery occurs despite that mental health symptoms may reoccur.
5. Recovery changes frequency and duration of mental health symptoms.
6. Recovery is not necessarily a linear process.
7. The consequences of the "illness" (eg. stigma) often can be harder to overcome than any of its symptoms.
8. Recovery does not suggest that a person never had a mental illness of never experienced mental health symptoms. [Show Less]
