Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,

kk ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must

kk not be culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not

kk considered mental illness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk




address the client's concerns.
