Recovery does not necessarily mean getting completely cured from
a mental health problem. For many patients, the idea of recovery
focuses on being able to get a control of life even when the
patient is undergoing mental problems. To be resilient amidst
the crises and manage the symptoms well can also mean recovery.
Recovery can also be explained as a process, a vision or an
outlook, a framework or the guiding principle to restore and
maintain a meaningful life. There are many definitions for
recovery in the realm of mental health problems and some
professionals refer to the ‘recovery model’ to completely
explain this concept. Recovery process includes: - Giving a
holistic view of the mental problem - Believing that recovery is
possible - Recovery should be a journey than the destination -
May not mean going back to where you started from - Recovery has
its good and bad times - Should be optimistic and be committed
at all times - Recovery is depended on the patient’s attitude
and expectations - Should be well-
