Disorder Information
NAMI IOWA serves to educate the public about mental illness. We want to end discrimination for those with mental illness in all areas of their lives— socialization, employment, housing, and health care. Providing informational on disorders is one way we can accomplish these goals.
The following is a sample of disorders. All disorders are available in a Handbook of Mental Illnesses, a booklet that includes all adult and children's illnesses. If you wish to purchase a booklet click here. To obtain a single fact sheet on a disorder, contact the NAMI IOWA office. You can print those that are underlined - click on the disorder.
