There are many types of mental illnesses in the world. On this page we are going to deal with the 5 most common mental disorders in the world, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD. 

Depression- Depression isn't sadness or anger, depression is numbness, being exhausted because you're using all you're energy to survive. Depression is drowning and everyone saying that you're breathing just fine.

Anxiety- Anxiety is an almost constant feeling of when you miss a step. It's panicking for no reason and worrying about everything and everyone. 

OCD*- OCD is a subcatorgory of anxiety, it is repetitive, unwanted thoughts, actions, obsessions and/or behaviors. 

Bipolar Disorder- Bipolar Disorder is alternating periods of depressions and mania. The best way to decribe it is a pendulum, swinging back and forth at all times.

PTSD**- PTSD is triggered after a terrifying event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

I hope this page helps and educated people. Thank you so much for reading this page.
