Mental Well-Being

Did you know that currently 1 in 5 Americans will experience mental illness in any given year? With something that has such a negative stigma, that is a large percentage of the population experiencing mental illness. While mental disorders have no known cause, there are various forms of treatment available. It is important to educate ourselves on the topic of mental illness as it is becoming more and more important that we know warning signs that come with mental illness to be better equipped for a crisis. It is important to note that there is a difference between mental health and mental illness. You can have poor mental health but not be diagnosed with a mental illness. Whereas mental illness is a specific mental health diagnosis in which a person MAY be able to experience periods of good mental health.
