May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental health is essential to everyone’s overall health and well-being, and mental illnesses are common and treatable. 1 in 5 adults in America suffer from mental illness. 18.1% (42 million) of American adults live with anxiety disorders and 6.9% (16 million) of American adults live with major depression . Yet less than half of people who need help seek treatment. If you or someone you know is suffering from a mental illness, you can help. Talk to your doctor, connect with other friends or family, learn more about mental illness, get a confidential mental health screening from 4mind4body or learn more from NAMI.org.

Mental health is essential to your overall health!
