How do you deal with a mentally ill family member?
Nov 15, 2022
Introduction
Mental illnesses are more common than we think, and the sad thing about them is that they are still seen as a stigma. Our mental health is equally important as our physical health; however, most people, especially businesswomen and female entrepreneurs with mentally ill parents ignore their own mental health. When a parent is diagnosed with a mental illness such as bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, panic disorder, or OCD, the parent doesn’t suffer alone. Along with that parent, children suffer even more in various ways.
Why is mental health more important for businesswomen with mentally ill parents?
Running a business or launching a startup is itself an endeavor that demands your attention mentally, physically, and financially. It is already extremely difficult to navigate the challenges that come with being a businesswoman or a female entrepreneur. Having a mentally ill parent can further drain your mind and soul, which might prevent you from getting the success you want and living a happy and stress-free life.
It is not uncommon or abnormal to feel frustrated, hurt, or embarrassed by a family member whose behaviors can be difficult to understand. Most people feel anger at the circumstances and even at the person with mental illness. It is even difficult to understand why a person with mental illness is behaving the way they do at a very young age.
Sometimes, you might even feel like you have done something to cause your parent’s mental illness or latest episode. The truth is all these emotions are common and normal but you don’t have to suffer and struggle. You also deserve a happy and successful life and that is possible when you have the right guidance.
