      ¹The goal of preventing psychological problems can be realized at several different points. ²The first point, primary prevention, seeks to put a stop to a condition before it begins. ³Steps might be taken, for example, to teach people healthy coping skills. ⁴At the same time, primary prevention may also seek to change the situations that lead to mental problems such as anxiety or depression. ⁵Next is secondary prevention. ⁶In secondary prevention, attempts are made to limit the length and difficulty of a disorder once it has begun. ⁷Programs that allow for early identification and prompt treatment of problems help achieve this goal. ⁸Finally, tertiary prevention limits the longterm impact of a psychological disorder by seeking to avoid a relapse. ⁹During this approach, steps are taken to identify the causes of the disorder and, as much as possible, get rid of them.
