For years, I have worked with folks battling mood-related conditions and I always got the sense that they felt like they did something wrong personally. Unlike more easily noticeable issues, mental health concerns carry a stigma. In fact, this stigma is the major reason why folks suffering from mental health concerns delay getting help.

In one study, 86% of folks with a mental illness concealed their illness and delayed treatment, and 69% experienced others saying offensive things about folks with mental health concerns. (1)

New research is suggesting that mental health illnesses can be just as physiological as a gallbladder stone or acid reflux. These disorders are understood to be a breakdown of a part that simply needs repair or replacement, like a new clutch or new brakes. I would like to make the case that many psychological disorders are also the result of the breakdown of body parts. These parts however are just really, really small and have been overlooked until now.
