Be Informed
Finding out more about mental health is very helpful if you want to do more to stay well or have just been diagnosed with a mental health problem. There are books that you can read that give you more information about mental health problems, what treatments are available and things that you can do for yourself to deal with the problem. Some of these you can borrow from libraries.
