Main article: Mental illness

The treatment of mental illness may include the use of psychotherapy, psychiatric medication, case management, or other practices. The major treatment options for mental disorders are psychiatric medication (notably antidepressants, anxiolytics and antipsychotics) and psychotherapy (notably cognitive behavioral therapy and variants, psychodynamic approaches, and systemic/psychosocial interventions). There are also physical treatments used for some disorders, notably ECT. Lifestyle adjustments and supportive measures may also be used. Many things have been found to help at least some people, including listening to music

Often an individual may engage in different treatment modalities and use various mental health services. These may be under case management (sometimes referred to as "service coordination"), use inpatient or day treatment, utilize a psychosocial rehabilitation program, and/or take part in an Assertive Community Treatment program.

Mental health services may be based in hospitals, clinics or the community.

Some approaches are based on a recovery model of mental disorder, and may focus on challenging stigma and social exclusion and creating empowerment and hope
