Getting Her Smile Back Mary has been a patient of the mental health center since 1988. She has struggled for years with Bipolar Disorder and is receiving psychiatric treatment, case management, and therapy from Charleston Dorchester Mental Health Center. The services provided by the center play a vital role in Mary’s life. The comprehensive and aggressive nature of the treatment services provided have helped to effectively treat an incredibly volatile mental illness. Treatment has helped bring some stability back into her life. On one particularly difficult evening, however, Mary’s behavior became erratic and disorganized. She was exhibiting signs of an extreme manic episode and was brought to the Medical University of South Carolina for treatment. During her stay she managed to lose her dentures among all the chaos. She returned home once she stabilized but went without her dentures for eight months. Her case manager at the mental health center brought the situation to the attention of Mental Health HEROES, which contributed $150 towards a new set of dentures.
