I'm also gonna recommend holistic approach, find the cause and seek a way to cure it. Someone once told me that mental illness isn't always a result of chemical imbalance in brain or spiritual emergency resulted from trauma or life-threatening experience, but it can also manifest because we are not living true to ourselves as a whole or don't live towards our sense of purpose. You can ask yourself if it's one of these, maybe a mix of them or something else.
Also, observe your symptoms, if you have better and worse periods, what triggers the worse? Something that comes from your surroundings or certain thought patterns within you?
Or you may try interpreting the dream, what does the crow or raven mean to you? Did something happen during your teenage that had similar effect as the bird flying straight on your face?
Of course, there are many faces to mental illness. Medically it's defined illness when it prevents us from functioning in the society... as shallow as it sounds since society is a big web of norms and outside expectations imposed on us, usually the more empathy you have, the more people suffer from it while less empathic people thrive no matter how they hurt others, usually those who become mentally ill.
When it comes to these things, affirmations combined with meditation works wonders.
