Mental illness often has no visible manifestations and, therefore, may go unnoticed. Experiencing a mental illness may be isolating, sometimes feel frightening or embarrassing and may seem overwhelming. Whether you have a mental illness, or are someone with a loved one who has a mental illness, you need to know that experiencing a mental illness is not the end of the road and that recovery is possible.
At Island Community Mental Health, we know that it is possible to have a mental illness and still lead a life that is fulfilling, with the capacity to work, enjoy recreational activities, volunteer, develop relationships and be an active member of your community.

Report
Uptown is noisy and crowded with very few places to sit and just relax. The parking is dangerous it is so confusing. There's almost no directories and even when you do find one they are still very confusing as to where you go to get what you want. Most of the stores are clothing stores that are just repeats of each other. The only draw Uptown has is PetSmart on the upper level.
